A Major Boost for Alabaster Jar Project’s Grace House Program

The Alabaster Jar Project, a local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has recently been awarded a grant from Hand to Hand, a charity under the Coastal Community Foundation umbrella. Following a visit to the Alabaster Jar Project in September, Hand to Hand has generously provided a £10,000 grant to support the Grace House program, which offers residential housing to survivors of trafficking.

This partnership commemorates a significant milestone for the Alabaster Jar Project, as it will enable the organization to enhance its support for survivors seeking independence from trafficking and sexual exploitation. The grant will specifically contribute towards the operational costs of Grace House, which is owned and operated by the Alabaster Jar Project.

Established in 2014, the Alabaster Jar Project has been devoted to providing support services and tangible resources to over 400 survivors of trafficking. Additionally, their Grace House program has offered long-term housing to more than 40 survivors. What sets the Alabaster Jar Project apart from other organizations is their commitment to promoting survivor leadership. With over 70% of the staff being trafficking survivors themselves, including several who have successfully graduated from the housing program, the organization truly understands the needs and challenges faced by survivors of human trafficking.

The grant from Hand to Hand will greatly aid the Alabaster Jar Project in furthering its mission of empowering survivors and providing them with the necessary resources and support to rebuild their lives. The organization is profoundly grateful for the support from Hand to Hand and is eager to continue their vital work in the community.

In conclusion, the support from Hand to Hand is a significant boost for the Alabaster Jar Project’s ongoing efforts to assist survivors of trafficking. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those affected by human trafficking, and it is a testament to the importance of collaboration in addressing such critical social issues.
