On Thursday, Nov. 7, North Star Initiative will host a Tapas Shindig to R.I.S.E. from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at SUPPLY, 280 S. Oak St., Manheim. North Star Initiative began operating The Harbor, Lancaster County’s first restoration home for survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation, in 2017. “The common remark I get from people is, ‘Trafficking is really happening here in Lancaster County?’ And it is,” shared Janelle Esbenshade, North Star Initiative director of development. “It’s important to become aware of what’s going on and to know the facts so you can share them with other people.” Esbenshade said that the Tapas Shindig to R.I.S.E. will help people to understand more about the issue and how they can support the ministry of
North Star Initiative. Attendees will hear stories from survivors of trafficking and learn about the organization’s vision for the coming year.

Though I fall, I will rise; though I sit in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.” The Harbor is designed to provide a safe haven for women ages 18 to 40 who are survivors of sex trafficking. It has capacity for up to 10 residents at a time. Esbenshade explained that The Harbor Restoration Program aims to provide psychological, physical, See North Star pg 3
