Purchased: Not for Sale exists to give women experiencing sexual exploitation and sex trafficking a path to safety, healing, and a fully restored life. Through a holistic model built on rescue, relationship, resources, and recovery, Purchased meets survivors right where they are — in jails, motels, strip clubs, hospitals, and our own women-only Resource Center — offering consistent presence, dignity, and support. From our residential recovery homes to diversion programs, outreach teams, and weekly classes, every part of Purchased is designed to interrupt exploitation, build trust, and walk with survivors as they rebuild their lives in freedom.

How can you get involved?
Volunteers are used at every level of our ministry: mentoring, serving on outreach teams, teaching classes, special events at our safe houses and so much more. To serve with Purchased you MUST COMPLETE The Hub’s Equip Training! Below, there is a list of ways you will be able to get involved after attending Equip Training.
01
Teacher
Purchased Not for Sale classes run on a 6 week rotation and our classes range from biblical, recovery, creative, and exercise. We provide all the resources and curriculum you need for the classes!
02
Friendtor
Friend-toring is an opportunity for a one on one relational building through cultivating friendship, leading through discipleship, and investing in the life of someone who has taken her first steps to a new life. We ask that you commit to seeing/talking your mentee at least once a week!
03
Stripped Outreach
Stripped is a relationship based mentoring program for women in the exotic dancing industry. Stripped provides one on one mentoring, access to free medical care, counseling, a GED program, and job resources. Our outreach allows us into local exotic dancing clubs 1-2x each month!
04
Jail Outreach
On our monthly jail outreaches, volunteers can choose to go into the jails or stay behind for virtual outreach. Jail team is the first point of contact for women who eventually come into our residential program. In other words, extending compassion, kindness, and access to the resources that Purchased provides can (and often does) set the path to a restored life in motion!
05
Resource Center
Serve with us on Wednesdays by bringing the meal, teaching a class, or simply walking alongside women as they find the resources they need.
06
Demand
The sex industry and human trafficking only exists because of supply and demand. On the Demand team, you’ll be trained to participate in monthly Cyber Patrols designed to disrupt the buying of sex online as it’s happening and be able to sign up for Demand Protection to provide safety needs for the women volunteering in attending outreaches and any residential safe house issues.
