Voices Abound: a Community Night for Change

This evening is about pulling back the curtain on what human trafficking really looks like—right here on the Treasure Coast. It’s about separating myths from facts, exposing what’s happening in our own neighborhoods, and showing how each of us can play a part in preventing exploitation and protecting our children.

Admission is free—we only ask that guests bring a new, unwrapped toy to support our holiday toy drive. This year, Voices for Children will be personally delivering toys to kids across our counties, and every single toy makes a difference.

We’ll be joined by an incredible lineup of speakers and partners, including:

Special Agent Daniel Ruiz, Homeland Security (Trafficking Division)

Jamie Bond, Place of Hope

Florida State Representative Toby Overdorf

The Indian River County Sheriff’s Department (self-defense demo)

Restorative Wellness (anxiety relief/stretch demo)

Local nonprofits and businesses in our interactive Resource Hall

And food trucks, live engagement, and more

This event is a wake-up call and a rally cry for our community to come together and take meaningful action. While not required, donations are always welcome—our needs are growing, and so are the number of children being referred to us. Your support helps us meet those needs with dignity and care.

We would be honored to have your presence at this event—not just as attendees, but as part of the solution.

Thank you for being a valued part of our community.

With appreciation,

Executive Director

Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast
