Trafficking and exploitation continue to impact people in every corner of Minnesota — often in places we would never expect. Behind every incident is a real person carrying wounds they never should have had to bear, yet still hoping for a path forward.

At Minnesota Good Works, we believe healing happens through relationship, not restrictions. That’s why MGW does not accept government funding. Government programs often come with limitations that prevent survivors from receiving the individualized, long-term support they truly need. By remaining community-funded, we can respond freely, personally, and without barriers — meeting each survivor where they are and walking with them toward real restoration.

Through our Enrichment Program, we walk alongside trafficked and exploited survivors as they rebuild their lives, offering mentorship, emotional support, practical resources, and a consistent community that refuses to give up on them.

We partner closely with agencies across Minnesota who trust us to step in where other systems cannot. As a 501(c)(3) supported by community generosity, MGW fills the relational gaps that move survivors from crisis toward confidence, stability, and hope.

Your support makes this possible. When you give, shop with purpose, or share our mission, you’re helping provide care that is flexible, human, and deeply needed — the kind of support survivors cannot receive anywhere else.

Because when one life heals, a whole community begins to heal with them.
