Christmas Outreach Organizations

Starbright Foundation

The mission of the Starbright Foundation is to rescue children and young adults from human sex trafficking and modern day slavery, as well as other dangerous and abusive environments in association with local law enforcement and governing authorities.
Starbright is establishing "safe houses" which provide maximum safety for endangered children, an environment for healing. They provide hope through crisis counseling, trauma therapy and education. Starbright offers new beginnings for these children through specialized care for victims of cultic, clergy, incest, mental, physical and sexual abuses, as well as comfort for their families. And they promote awareness in the community on the escalating crimes of child pornography and exploitation, which cause human suffering within our communities and nation.
We are partnering with Starbright to sponsor 25 girls and 25 boys for Christmas, youth who really need our help. Your generous gift will help Starbright continue to be the beacon of light for these children that are in need of love that doesn’t hurt and trust that won’t be broken.
