Once again this year, we focus on encouraging Hope as the foundation of our walk!
The Lebanon Hope Walk is a community event designed to help spread awareness of human trafficking in our local areas. We believe it is important for our community to be educated and alert about trafficking to not only fight for change, but also to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. It is easy to blind ourselves to the fact that this happens in small areas around us, but it is extremely important to realize that human trafficking rates continue to climb the more it is hidden. By taking a stand and speaking out toward this horrific issue, we believe change is just around the corner.
Where Hope Lives is one of the nation’s largest human trafficking rescue and rehabilitation operations in North America. The funds you raise through this community walk will help rescue trafficked individuals and give them the skills necessary to build a strong and vibrant life.
The Stop Traffic Walk event will open at 11am with bounce houses, games, food trucks, and more!
Just before the walk, there will be brief remarks from our Co-chairs: Amy Brewer and Robin Wientge followed by an encouraging call to action by this year's master of ceremonies.
This is your time to take a stand for the injustice that is taking place today and also show your support for those who have survived. We hope you will join us to unify our town and walk for this cause!
