The Agape House
"We want to get to them before the streets do"
VOLUNTEERS
It is our firm conviction,
which data supports, that
providing a preventative
program with a seamless
transition to Agape House
is far superior to the woman
ever getting to the streets,
being trafficked, or being
homeless. We plan to get to
the woman before the streets do
and we need the help of volunteers
to succeed.

“A caged bird stands on the grave of dreams, (her) shadow shouts on a nightmare scream (Her) wings are clipped and (her) feet are tied so (she) opens (her) throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill Of things unknown but longed for still and (her) tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom."
