What do pizza and cast-iron decor have in common? Together they have provided funds for anti-trafficking efforts in the Lehigh Valley!! This month’s “Community Credits” features 2 volunteers, Courtney Doncevic & Liz Laubach, who organized our Matey’s Pizza and online auction fundraisers. Inspired by the “Sex & Money” film viewing, these 2 women responded to their concern for the issue of sex trafficking & its prevalence in the Lehigh Valley.

They used their own creativity, time, and connections to raise over a total of $850.00 through pizza orders, and local business donations. We are so grateful to them, the contributors, and each of you who made a purchase. With these funds, VAST will continue to raise awareness and provide vital education to community members and local organizations.

How will you respond? A united response is an effective response for ending local & global slavery!
