If you would be interested\, we would love to hear from you! \nCOMMUNITY GROUP MEETINGS:\nStarting in April\, our Holland Community Group meetings will be combined with the Ottawa County Human Trafficking Task Force meetings\, as our CG Leader\, Ashleigh O’Donnell\, is the new co-chair of the task force! These meetings are open to the public and are held on a quarterly basis. The next one will be on Wed\, July 26th\, at 12:00 pm (virtual). If you would be interested in joining us\, please send us an email to receive the Zoom link. \n\nIf you would like to stay connected with MAP’s Holland Community Group\, consider joining our Facebook Group or sign-up for our email list (“Community Group: Holland”) to have invites to future meetings and events sent straight to your inbox. For further questions\, please contact the Holland CG Leader directly at holland@map-mi.org \n\n\n\nMAP Community Groups consist of compassionate and motivated citizens who volunteer together to address human trafficking in their community. Community Groups meet regularly for ongoing training\, conducting awareness activities\, and engaging in service projects within the local community. Through Community Groups we seek to build a collaborative network that helps people use their gifts\, talents\, and resources to address human trafficking and its root causes more effectively.
