Columbus, OH
Sanctuary Night
Sanctuary Night is a sacred space serving vulnerable women who are at risk for sexual exploitation.



The Sullivant Corridor on the Westside of Columbus has some of Franklin County's highest rates of poverty, substance abuse/mental health disorders, domestic violence, and homelessness. All of these factors contribute to high rates of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
By opening a drop-in center with a radically low barrier to entry (guests must be women), we make it very easy to begin to connect to resources needed for those who are struggling. We provide for the most basic needs of our guests reaffirming their humanity and welcoming them into a community of survivors. These basics serve to keep them alive and to provide the necessary seeds of hope to encourage change.


We have served over 1,300 unique women, with over 750 on-site health care visits;' over 100 women have entered treatment through our program. We have served over 22,000 meals. But most importantly, we have created a place of hope and recovery for all of those who enter our door.
