128: How The Salvation Army fights human trafficking with Erin Kauffman

What’s bigger than Starbucks and Google combined?

A $150 billion industry?

Involving 25 million people worldwide?

It’s human trafficking. And it’s a problem in your community.

Across the U.S., The Salvation Army has 49 anti-trafficking programs. Recent statistics show The Salvation Army served 4,415 trafficking survivors in just one year.

Erin Kauffman is the Housing Director for one of those Salvation Army anti-trafficking programs, called Stepping Stones, in Spokane, Washington.

She’s worked to help trafficking victims become survivors for many years, including most recently as the SEEDS of Hope Program Coordinator in Las Vegas.

These are people, much like all of us, she’ll tell you, searching for love and belonging.

And she’s on the show to share more about The Salvation Army’s anti-trafficking work and some of the myths surrounding the issue.
