Justice Jam was started in 2019 by a high school student - Gillian Lee. After she found out about human trafficking she knew she had to do something. Using her talent and passion for music she organized a benefit concert and silent auction to raise money to fight human trafficking. 100% of donations go to 2 local organizations, Stories Foundation & Terebinth Refuge - you can read more about them below!
In recent years Justice Jam has grown and changed with the mission remaining the same:
Financially supporting recovery for survivors of human trafficking!
We are so excited to see the community come together to be educated and empowered as we generously "Financially support recovery for survivors of human trafficking"!
RSVP on our Facebook Event and share with friends and family!

Stories Foundation is a nonprofit in Minnesota fighting human trafficking and related issues through social impact business, awareness education, and community engagement. AND - they have offices right here in Anoka, MN!
Their big project right now is seeing their multi-use giveback cafe (Storyteller Cafe!) get built on their land in Ramsey!
They do many events that inform, educate, and empower the community to know about human trafficking and steps we can each take to stop human trafficking.
Terebinth Refuge is "a Christ-centered shelter and safe home that brings hope, healing services, and freedom to sexually exploited and trafficked women." They are based in the St. Cloud, MN region.
They have 2 houses where survivors of human trafficking can have a safe, caring, and supportive team that helps each client to heal, rehabilitate, and prepare for life after Terebinth!
