Refuge For Women dinner, silent auction to benefit survivors of trafficking

Thousands of women and girls are sexually exploited each year in Chicago and its suburbs. Refuge For Women Chicago is a restorative aftercare home where these women can heal from their trauma in a safe, loving environment.

The dinner and silent auction on Saturday, April 7, will raise funds to support this ministry.

You will experience moving stories of transformation and hear how Refuge For Women welcomes residents into a safe, loving home so that they can begin their healing. One of the recent graduates will be joining us to share part of her journey!

Enjoy our silent auction, gourmet food stations, and program presentation in the beautiful surroundings of the Q Center, 1405 N. Fifth Ave. in St. Charles. Your attendance at the "Welcome Home ... Let the Healing Begin" fundraiser will help support the restorative aftercare home for women who have escaped trafficking and exploitation.

Tickets are $50. Tickets for this event can be purchased at the Refuge For Women Welcome Home Fundraiser page on www.eventbrite.com.

Registration ends Thursday, March 29.
