Tharros Place Fundraiser at Starland Yard

Tharros Place, a nonprofit that provides residential services for survivors of human trafficking, will host a fundraiser at Starland Yard this Father’s Day. $1 from every draft will go towards its residential facility, which is open 24/7 and staffed by trained and licensed professionals providing trauma-informed, client-centered care to girls ages 12 to 17. There will also be a raffle with local prizes.

ABOUT THARROS PLACE:
Human trafficking – the exploitation of another person for sex, labor, or services – is a global threat. In the United States, there are 1.5 million human trafficking victims, most of whom are children. Savannah is no exception, due to its high poverty rate, international port, booming tourism industry, and the crossroads of Highway 95 and I-16.

Tharros Place, a 501(c)(3) that takes its name from the Greek word for courage, was created to fill a gap in services. In 2023, Tharros Place opened a 12-bed residential home to address underlying trauma and cultivate a culture of courage for girls ages 12 to 17.
