Bowie Couunty ministry shines a light on human trafficking

Nestled inside Central Mall is a store that brings attention to and helps generate revenue for victims of human trafficking in the area.

Restored is an enterprise venture through WeAre Free to help survivors of trafficking learn skills to take them into the workforce.

“We started this social enterprise to teach skills-soft skills, technical skills-and they can earn a stipend money,” said Angelyn McMurray, founder and executive director of We Are Free, a non profit organization that helps trafficking victims. “So if we’re going to start this social enterprise and start teaching some skills and making some products, we need to sell them somewhere.”
