The Family Table

CCAHT operates the Emergency Receiving Center (ERC), a short-term, low-barrier shelter for survivors of human trafficking. The ERC serves as the triage center for establishing safety, meeting acute needs, and determining appropriate referrals for next steps. To ensure our clients can have some breaks from cooking, volunteers will sign up using our Meal Train profile to provide meals twice a week. It is a great way to show love and support to survivors through food. You can cook, get catering, or get together with a group to provide meals together. More information and registration below.
