The 2026 World Cup kicked off yesterday, June 11, a time of excitement and global connection. It’s also important to stay aware that large events can increase the risk of human trafficking.

At YWCA St. Joseph, we are committed to helping keep our community safe. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, trust your instincts. It’s always better to report than to wonder if you could have helped.

⚠️ Remember:
• Do NOT intervene or put yourself at risk
• Report concerns to local law enforcement or the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 or text BEFREE to 233733

Together, we can look out for one another and make a difference.

🌱 Feature Friday: YWCA St. Joseph 🌱

Just like a garden needs care, support, and encouragement to grow, strong communities are built when individuals and families have access to the resources they need to thrive.

That’s why we’re proud to spotlight YWCA St. Joseph this Feature Friday. Through domestic and sexual violence advocacy, education, resources, and support services, the YWCA helps empower individuals, support survivors, and strengthen our community.

We’re excited to welcome them to the Noyes Home Block Party and encourage you to stop by their booth to learn more about the important work they do and the resources available right here in St. Joseph.
