Eden’s Farm Emergency Covid Fund

When the shelter in place order hit because of Covid, we knew it meant we had to act. We knew that the survivors we were serving were going to be affected. We knew that exploitation increases in times of crisis. We knew we had to do something.

We immediately mobilized our resources and delivered emergency items to people who were in need. We sought for emergency assistance and applied for a the The Pittsburgh Foundation Emergency Action Fund. We were granted the fund and immediately went to work.

As the applications rolled in we were both happy to assist and also heartbroken from the information that was given.

What was most difficult to see was, of the qualifying applicants, 50% disclosed that they have been solicited or sexually exploited as a result of the pandemic.

Even though 100% of the grant went directly to assisting survivors, the needs are still great. Please consider donating so that we may continue to assist survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
