What do backpacks have to do with survivors of human trafficking you ask?

The Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking, a non-profit in Los Angeles, desperately needs backpacks filled with essential items like toiletries, clean clothes, and snacks. The social services professionals at CAST occasionally need these backpacks at a moment's notice when they are rescuing people from human trafficking. As a Meetup group, we are going to help provide these crucial emergency kits!

We need you to bring any of the following. For clothing, make sure it is new:

toothbrush
toothpaste
shampoo
conditioner
soap / shower gel
washcloth / sponge
comb / brush
hair ties
compact mirror
socks
bra / panties
t-shirt
bath towel
snack items (crackers, cookies)
flip-flops
small notebook
pen/pencil
manila folder or full-sized mailing envelope


Please let us know what you can bring.

Join us and help us make these backpacks that will have a direct impact when people are rescued.
