Statewide Service Project

We Need You!

Please be a part of our January Service Project!! First Vice President Glynis Chester and I have planned a special statewide
service project for our January board meeting and are encouraging all TFRW clubs members to help. January is Human
Trafficking Awareness Month, and we want do our part to help out these victims by assembling 300 first response
backpacks for Traffick911.

When a Voice & Choice Advocate is dispatched, a first response backpack is taken to meet with the victim. Within the
backpack are things to help the victim on the road to recovery and give them a few personal items.
Traffick911 provides three to four backpacks per week for victims.

To assist with the need for first response backpacks, TFRW will be assembling backpacks at our January board meeting.
We want every club in the state to be involved, so here are the two ways your club can help:

1) Sign up for an item(s) using this Sign Up Genius link: 2) Make a donation to buy supplies. You can make
