Join a Human Trafficking Presentation on Jan. 11
The women of Big Canoe and Highland Lutheran Churches invite you to learn about human trafficking in Northeastern Iowa at a special presentation Wednesday, Jan. 11. Friends of the Family, the non-profit organization that assists victims of Human Trafficking in the Decorah area, will share what human trafficking is and ways that people can support victims and help prevent others from becoming victims.
The presentation will be at 2 p.m. at Big Canoe Lutheran, 1381 Big Canoe Rd, Decorah, with time for questions and answers, followed by refreshments. Free-will donations will be accepted to support Friends of the Family. The color of the day will be blue.
Please note: If Decorah school is cancelled or early out due to weather, the presentation will be cancelled.
