“Gingerbread House provides critically needed funds for child victims of sexual and physical abuse in our community, including victims of child sex trafficking.

Our goal is to continue to educate the public that sexual abuse happens to kids of all backgrounds. It is a shocking topic that people don’t like to talk board member and luncheon event chairperson about but it is absolutely critical that you educate yourself and learn the things to look for. It is so important to have this conversation with children; otherwise, when something happens they might not realize it is not normal.”
