California frequently has the most reported cases of human trafficking in the entire country, and here, as in the rest of the world, the majority of those being trafficked are WOMEN. Our Dream Bags program was designed to support survivors. We fill backpacks with specific items from the list below (curated with assistance from the FBI) and we work with Madera County District Attorney&#39;s office, the OLIVE Foundation, and our local sheriffs to get Dream Bags directly to women who have been recovered from human trafficking situations. This is how you can help:<ol fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">DONATE: Every single dollar counts! You can also donate the actual items that we need to fill the bags. See complete list below. These items can be dropped off at Busy Bee Accounting, Yosemite Pie Company, or Pak &amp; Page in Oakhurst.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">SHARE: Share this campaign about Dream Bags on your social media pages! Discuss the issue with your family &amp; friends. Your advocacy will amplify our impact. Every conversation, every liked post, and every share on social media brings awareness to human trafficking - and awareness leads to prevention.</li></ol>THANK YOU!
