IRS990/Desc0Stories was born out of the belief that when people learn about human trafficking and how it affects our communities, they would want to do something to fight against it. We create opportunities to do just that by empowering them to take the first step through education and purposeful purchasing. We bring awareness to community members and training first responders about human trafficking and what we can do. Stories Foundation uses business to create opportunities for survivors and those vulnerable. Stories also held several events during the year to further the message and provide awareness and education to the community.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Storyteller Cafe - In December of 2024, we acquired a likeminded coffee shop nonprofit business and began the process of turning it into Storyteller Cafe, a giveback cafe where we will sell food products and boutique items as well as host awareness events with the goal of spreading awareness about human trafficking, empowering people to make a difference through purposeful purchasing as a first step, and create opportunities for survivors and those vulnerable through jobs and housing. After many years of fundraising for this project, we are excited that it has finally come to fruition.
