The Mission
HELPING CAPTIVES is a Christian anti-trafficking and support organization serving the Spokane Washington and Northern Idaho regions. We exist to honor God by providing opportunities for freedom and safety to those exploited by sex trafficking through prevention, intervention, and recovery services.
At Helping Captives we provide residential, trauma-informed, therapeutic stabilization services to adult female victims of human trafficking by offering medical, spiritual, mental, and emotional care as well as 24-hour housing and food. We welcome all women regardless of age, race, color, creed, or religion. Survivors in pain can be assured they will find love, acceptance, and a calm place to breathe at Helping Captives.
Helping Captives also offers education and resources to individuals, families, churches, schools, first responders, businesses, bikers, and anyone potentially coming into contact with survivors. Without our community of support, many sexually exploited women end up in lifelong abuse and addiction, some even die in the trafficking life. Our organization empowers people to fight trafficking and help survivors in our community.
The Ministry
Helping Captives was founded in 2015 as a ministry partnering with churches and organizations to perform outreach to the community. Originally, Helping Captives was HRC Ministries, from the initials of Harry, Randy, and Caleb Altmeyer. As the outreaches continued to grow, and they got more involved in their community, they began hearing stories of women and children being trafficked and knew they needed to act. Today Helping Captives ministers to survivors of trafficking through intervention, stabilization, and recovery services.
