Serving USA Collaborates with 67 Partner Organizations across the USA, many of them focused on Supporting Women in Recovery During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month
Serving USA (SUSA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to bring grace and
redemption through Christ to incarcerated individuals, women in recovery, and military veterans through a supported network of exceptional partner organizations. SUSA provides funding support and other management resources to create, enhance, and expand high-quality, evidence-based transformational programs. An area of focus of SUSA is women in recovery from human trafficking, domestic violence, homelessness, and addiction.
Since 2010, January has been established as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
SUSA is honored to be among the organizations that aim to increase public awareness of human trafficking, educate the public on identifying and preventing trafficking, and provide resources to survivors.
SUSA is proud to walk alongside our partner organization, BeLoved Atlanta, which provides safe homes and a two-year program for survivors of sex trafficking to create a new path in life. Founder and President Amelia Quinn reflects on our partnership:
"BeLoved Atlanta has loved working with Serving USA. As a foundation, they have gone above and beyond by not only providing funding but also resources as they have gifted us coaching opportunities and marketing support. It is a relationship that is built off trust and believing that we will go farther together."
In collaboration with Guardian Group, which partners with law enforcement to prevent sex trafficking through recognition and response training programs, SUSA is equipped with the tools to address alarming facts. CEO and Founder Jeff Keith shares:
"Every day in the U.S. an average of 150,000 new escort ads are posted online, hidden among these are ads for children. Very few organizations are attempting to prevent this from happening to our children. Serving USA has come alongside Guardian Group in our efforts to disrupt and prevent this horrific crime from happening to our children."
The Journal of the American Medical Association published findings that circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated human trafficking statistics. As a result of the economic downturn and widespread job loss, many cannot pay rent and face
homelessness, increasing childhood maltreatment, and hospital statistics of trauma and abuse. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children issued a 2020 report reflecting an increase from 2 million to 4.2 million reports of online exploitation from March to April 2020 (Forbes 2020)
