People are not property. No person should be bought or sold for sex. Not here in Central Ohio. Not anywhere. Freedom a la Cart empowers survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation to build lives of freedom and self-sufficiency. We believe that breaking down employment barriers is vital for creating a pathway to freedom. In our lifetime, survivors of human trafficking will break the cycle of exploitation β strengthening families and building resilient communities nationwide for generations to come.
We believe our model that joins social purpose with business rationality is scalable, replicable and effective. With a focus on serving thousands of survivors, we envision taking our model to new markets nationwide. It is our strong hope that other cities will employ intentional economic empowerment as a means to break cycles of exploitation. Respect and Dignity β We connect with intention and communicate with sincerity, transparency, respect and dignity.
Community β We create a safe and inclusive place where everyone feels valued and welcome. We embrace collaboration and recognize the unique contributions of each person. Every job, every person, every customer is equally important.
Growth β We drive growth through bold risks and innovation. We challenge the status quo and look for new ways and next steps for personal , professional and business development.
We are motivated change-makers and respect the uniqueness of each personal journey. Beauty β We recognize the inherent worth of every individual. We honor the beauty in ourselves, each other, our product, our work, and our surroundings. We are perfectly imperfect people with passion, grit and a purpose. Hope β We know that our past does not define our future and believe in second, third and fourth chances.
