Columbus Hosts Private Leadership Reception Supporting Micah’s Promis and Advance Anti-Trafficking

In May, the Rotary Club of Columbus partnered with its End Human Trafficking Now (EHTN) committeeto host a private reception focused on strengthening community and legislative collaboration in the fight against child sex trafficking. This invitation-only event welcomed approximately 20 attendees, including state and local legislative representatives, Rotary leadership and advocates dedicated to ending human trafficking.

Rather than a public unveiling of the therapeutic garden at the Girls Rise Hoem, the reception centered on a more focused mission:

  • Highlighting the impact - exploring how the therapeutic garden and trauma-informed spaces promote healing and emotional regulation for survivors
  • Interactive tour - offering firsthand insight into how Micah’s Promise is transforming lives through specialized care and support
  • Focus on collaboration - deepening relationships between local and state leaders, the Rotary Club, and Micah’s Promise to enhance collective impact
  • Public policy engagement - encouraging meaningful dialogue on the role of legislation and government partnerships in preventing and addressing human trafficking

Many of the elected officials in attendance were visiting the home for the first time, gaining new understanding and appreciation for the social work being done behind the scenes at Micah’s Promise.

”Our club was proud to host this intimate and impactful event, said Club President Meredith King. “It was an opportunity not only to witness the hope and healing happening at Micah’s Promise but to build relationships that can lead to real change in our community and beyond.”
