Monthly Charity

Our community is important to us and through the years we have supported local charities and causes. In late 2009 we decided to take this even further and actively support a  specific charity each month. Gilles matches your donations dollar for dollar, and 100% of the monies we collect go to the charity. Due to the generous contributions from our wonderful and caring customers and those from Gilles, this program has been a terrific success. Thank you for helping us give back to those in need in our community!

Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked in countries around the world, including in the United States. In fact, the greater Milwaukee area has one of the highest rates of trafficking activity in the country. It is estimated that human trafficking generates many billions of dollars of profit per year, second only to drug trafficking. Drugs can only be sold once, but a person can be sold over and over.

Motivated by the love of Jesus, Exploit No More responds to the impact of sex trafficking through community education and supportive services. Exploit No More is dedicated to see all survivors of sex trafficking treated with dignity and have access to safe housing, supportive services and the ability to move forward to work toward their goals.

Our programs include:

Survivors of sex trafficking need and deserve a safe and dignified space to heal. Exploit No More purchased and lovingly remodeled an apartment building into the beautiful 8-bed, 4 bathroom Freedom House. We are honored to partner with Benedict Center to provide houseing and supportive services for survivors of sex trafficking. in addition to a warm and safe bedroom to sleep in, good food to eat, a hot shower, laundry, personal care items, and internet access, we are providing services for our guests to help them on their journey to thrive.

With the need for an efficient way to provide basic items to victims of trafficking, we created the MKE Resource Hub. With over thirteen collaborators including CRAY, Collaborative Rapid Advocacy for Youth, this program provides personal care supplies for victims of trafficking and individuals at high risk of becoming trafficked. Recipients are given tangible ways to make their own decisions, which is essential for physical and emotional healing.

Awareness is critical to recognizing and preventing human trafficking. We educate our community through our free Human Trafficking 101 presentations, social media posts, Churches Against Trafficking, and Schools Against Trafficking.

Because People Are Not Property.
