Healing Action Network

The holidays are not easy for everyone. For many survivors of trafficking and exploitation, this season can bring memories of harm and isolation.

Monthly Champions help ensure survivors can reach safety-focused support in December and beyond—not just when giving is trendy.

This time of year, many people give once. We’re deeply grateful. 💛

Monthly Champions go a step further: your steady support helps keep our drop-in services, groups, and advocacy reliable, not seasonal.

✅ Predictable support for survivors
✅ Stability for safety planning and ongoing services
✅ A stronger network to prevent trafficking and exploitation

🎁 Healing Holiday: Adopt-a-Family Program is here!

As the holiday season approaches, Healing Action Network is launching our annual Healing Holiday: Adopt-a-Family Program — helping ensure survivors and their families experience a joyful and meaningful holiday season.

Through this program, community members, organizations, and businesses are matched with survivor families to help fulfill their holiday wish lists. Each list includes both practical items — like winter clothing, household goods, and hygiene kits — and thoughtful gifts that bring warmth and encouragement.

💜 Ways to Participate:
✨ Adopt an individual or family (approx. $40–$60 per person)
✨ Partner as a group or organization — adopt one or more families together
✨ Donate directly to the Healing Holiday campaign ➡️ https://healingaction.org/donate/

🕒 Please sign up early!
We hope sponsors will have the full month of November to shop for their assigned individuals or families. Early sign-ups ensure every survivor is supported in time for the holidays.
Learn more or sign up here ➡️ https://healingaction.org/adoptafamily/

Your participation helps bring hope, dignity, and joy to survivors and their families — making this season a little brighter for those who need it most. 💜
