Meet the STF Volunteers: Jennifer Bast

They’re an integral part of empowering women and ending human trafficking. Seriously—they’re great people. And we want you to meet them! Tell us a bit about yourself.

Thank You!
Emily Events, Everyday Abolitionist, STF News 1
Thank you to everyone in Cincinnati who came out to support Hagar International at our Restore benefit on Saturday. We raised money for Hagar and people learned more about human trafficking and how they can help – I’d say that’s a success! We had a great time with a photo booth at the event and the pictures are now posted on our Facebook page – head over there to catch some of the fun. If you couldn’t make it but would like to donate, go to Hagar’s website and enter “Restore” in the comments box.
