To prevent and end human trafficking

Restoring Oaks is a faith-based nonprofit community alliance to prevent and end human trafficking located in Charlotte County. We exist to help restore beauty from ashes, joy from mourning, praise from despair (Isaiah 61:1-3). We want to help survivors and community members be the powerful oaks they are meant to be. Will you join the community alliance?

What is human trafficking and what can we do about it?

Education

Restoring Oaks will host education events, speak at schools and community organizations to tell as many as possible about human trafficking and what can be done to stop it. We must stop the demand and keep our communities safe!

Advocacy

Restoring Oaks strives to advocate for communities to use their talents and passions to raise awareness about human trafficking through events and tools. It also advocates for individuals and organizations who fight trafficking through their choices.

Survivor care

Survivors of human trafficking need reminded of their true value. They are loved, not for what they can offer, but for who they are. Restoring Oaks will provide safe housing and a network to help survivors through education, therapy, and community.
