The First Step: Immediate Safety

If you or someone you know is in danger, call 911 first. For non-emergency trafficking situations, the National Human Trafficking Hotline is the bridge to safety and services.

  • Text “BeFree” to 233733
  • Chat online at humantraffickinghotline.org

Trained advocates listen without judgment and connect callers to local law enforcement, shelters, and specialized programs.

After Rescue: The Need for Long-Term Care

Crisis shelters save lives, but true restoration requires months or years of intentional support - exactly what many programs lack and what Destiny’s Calling provides.

Why Long-Term Matters

Survivors need trauma counseling, education, job skills, and spiritual renewal to break free from fear, shame, and dependency.

Destiny’s Calling: A Place to Heal and Grow

Located in Clover, South Carolina, this faith-centered ministry offers more than shelter - it offers a future.

Campus Features for Complete Restoration

  • Three residential homes for girls 13–21
  • Chapel and community pavilion
  • Victory Village transitional micro-homes
  • ReSale Store fully funding the mission through volunteer efforts
