Find a local organization that helps the victims in your area. There is one I found called Restoration Now that is ran through the Salvation Army in my area (I know, I know). But they did give good advice on what you can do to help. From their website:
What Can You Do to Help?
There are many opportunities to help anti-trafficking efforts:
- Raise awareness about human trafficking and our Fight for Freedom Campaign on your social media platforms
- Recognize red flags and REPORT to the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1(888)373-7888
- Host a fundraiser
- Write a letter to a survivor in our program to encourage them on their journey
- Collect toiletries/gifts to donate to one of our program’s survivors
- Pray for healing of the many traumas endured by these brave individuals
- Intern or volunteer with a local organization fighting human trafficking

I guess my next question would be, how do you make sure a certain organization is legit? My area is filled with corrupt politicians, AGs, judges, police force, even social services, ect., and their website says they work closely with those people. I saw some comments in here already that listed some reliable organizations, but they are across the country. It might be cool to get a list together so we have easier access to different organizations across various states if you feel called to plan fundraisers/clothing drives/ect.
