I Need Help

Human trafficking is a heinous crime, and a severe form of exploitation. It impacts the most vulnerable through threats of violence and abuse of power to maintain control over victims.    

The Salvation Army is a leader in the fight against human trafficking by providing ongoing support and services to survivors on their journeys to safety, stability and self-empowerment.    

St. Louis and Missouri rank among the top 20 cities and states for human trafficking cases across the country. Providing direct services to survivors in our community is critical to breaking the cycle of sex and labor trafficking. 

Our staff have undergone specialized training to identify human trafficking and best serve survivors. Our social services providers and case managers have the capacity and expertise, having completed more extensive training, to serve survivors. The have completed training on the intersection of homeless and human trafficking, as well as substance abuse, and developed individualized plans for the various facilities in our division that work to meet the basic needs of our most vulnerable neighbors. 

Anti-human trafficking is a priority at the highest levels of The Salvation Army, with detailed initiatives designed to support survivors both nationally and internationally.

We are committed to meeting survivors where they are,  and guiding them through each stage of their journey. We also refer individuals to other Salvation Army or community centers for further services and/or treatment as needed.
