A Community Update

San Diego isn’t just where Saved in America was founded it’s home.

This month’s newsletter reminded us that our mission is deeply rooted in this city. From retired law enforcement officers to prayer partners, donors, and everyday citizens, San Diego continues to show up for vulnerable children.

Our work does not happen in isolation. It happens because a community chooses to care.

Human trafficking is not a distant issue. According to the California Department of Justice, California consistently reports some of the highest numbers of human trafficking cases in the nation due to its large population, international border, and major metropolitan areas (California DOJ, “Human Trafficking in California”). The San Diego region, as a border city, has been identified by federal and state agencies as a high-risk area for trafficking activity.

The FBI has also confirmed that trafficking occurs in cities, suburbs, and rural communities across the United States not just internationally (FBI, “Human Trafficking Overview”).

San Diego continues to stand in awareness, prayer, and action and that unity matters.
