Olive Crest will host Hope Shines, a fundraiser for its Hope Refuge Campus serving sex-trafficked youth. The event will be 2-4 p.m. Saturday, April 28 at Sunstone Winery, 125 N. Refugio Road, Santa Ynez.
Those attending will learn about Olive Crest’s mission of strengthening, equipping and restoring children and families in crisis. And, Alia Azariah, a local trafficking and survivor leader will be sharing her testimony.
Olive Crest’s Hope Refuge Campus provides for one of the greatest needs of girls (ages 12-17) who have been victims of sex trafficking — a safe place where they can be healed and restored.
By partnering with Olive Crest, supporters help break the cycle of abuse and neglect and empower children in crisis to become healthy and productive.
