January: Human Trafficking Awareness Month!

Held every January

Our club’s annual Human Trafficking Awareness Walk and Event is an in-person event held from in January at the United Methodist Church of Vista, 490 S. Melrose Drive, Vista.

In 2025, we will hold this Event/Walk on Saturday, January 11, which has been designated as Human Trafficking Awareness Day. There will be information tables from various organizations and a guest speaker. Local civic leaders usually attend. The press will be covering this. Please join us! The event is free although donations given that day are welcome and will be used to raise awareness and help victims of trafficking.

9 am – 10 am Registration
10:30 am Guest Speaker (TBD)
11 am Walk Commences (1.5 miles round trip)

In 2024, this event and walk was held on January 27. Our guest speaker was San Diego District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond. Several local organizations active in the fight against human trafficking had info tables. Read more here: 2024 Awareness Walk
