Story

With over 100 women on our waiting list, we need you to join us!

Together, we can help women survivors find healing, hope, and freedom.

Thistle Farms is a nonprofit social enterprise, based in Nashville, TN, dedicated to helping women survivors recover and heal from trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. We provide a safe place to live, a meaningful job, and a lifelong sisterhood of support because we believe love is the most powerful force in the world.

In the midst of a tumultuous year of pandemics, protests, and political division, we continue to be reminded that good news abounds.

With your support, Thistle Farms has been able to provide over 10,000 safe nights in our residences, open a new home offering emergency housing for trafficking victims, and maintain employment for 99% of our workforce this year. While online sales soared, our temporarily shuttered café prepared over 12,000 meals for homebound students. Week after week, weve watched survivors choose hope over fear as they came to work, opened savings accounts, reunited with children, moved into first apartments, and even completed college degrees.

While this year has humbled us, in our humility we can see the light. We make candles and keep them burning so others can see this light as well. It is this light and the love it represents that is the key that opens the door to a life of fullness and freedom.

We could not be more grateful for your belief in this work or for the energy and love that lights the way towards a hopeful new year.
