Reminders
Go Holiday Shopping to Support Survivors of Human Trafficking
The St. Peter HOPE Advocates will host two more booths this holiday season for Sak Saum for Freedom! All proceeds go to prevent human trafficking and support survivors. Sak Saum was started by a local couple, with one woman and one sewing machine. The single safe house in Cambodia has grown into a self-sustaining village with a vocational training center. Every eco-friendly backpack, bag and accessory is crafted by women and men who have escaped or survived human trafficking.
Stop by our booth this Saturday, November 14, at the St. Peter Holiday Boutique. We will also be at the St. Gabriel Christkindl Market on December 5. Get a start on your holiday shopping while supporting a great cause!
