Court Support
Each month Poiema supplies individually packaged snacks for the Victim’s Room at the Frank Crowley Courthouse in Dallas. This room provides a comfortable place to wait, sometimes for hours, for victims and their family members who are called to testify against their perpetrators. We add the personal touch so they know they have support from people who care. Our volunteers seek donations, gather them, and deliver them to the room once a month

Community Awareness
Outreach
Educating the public about human trafficking is essential to ending modern day slavery. Each month multiple teams of trained volunteers distribute posters of missing minors known or suspected of being in the area to hotels, bus stations, first responders, and local businesses in high risk locations throughout Dallas and the surrounding cities. Each team consists of at least one of the following: an experienced team leader, a driver, a data collector, and a prayer warrior.
We currently have community outreach teams in Carrollton, Dallas, Denison, Denton, Frisco, Mansfield, Mesquite, Rockwall and Wiley.

Intel
These volunteers enter information, such as vehicle makes and models, that is gathered by the data collectors during our Saturday outreaches. Information like this is used to help private investigators and detectives track perpetrators and find their victims. These tasks can be performed from home at a volunteer’s convenience.

Background check
Internet Surveillance
The Poiema Foundation closely partners with 4theONE Foundation in internet surveillance. Information that is collected on outreach and entered by our data entry team is used by volunteers trained by 4theOne to perform in-depth data collecting using internet searches and social media. 4theOne staff conducts information searches using the latest technology to further the group’s efforts in locating missing individuals that are suspected to or are known to have been lured into the sex industry. This team also uses data given to 4theOne by referrals, concerned family members, and/or the public. All information gathered during any participation in this ministry is given by 4theOne to police detectives and/or private investigators to aid in missing person and criminal investigations.

Direct Care
The success of our safe house programs and services is largely dependent on support provided by caring volunteers. This ministry offers both long and short term opportunities for service in areas such as home maintenance, life skills, mentoring programs, educational opportunities, and Bible studies.

Survivors of trafficking need plenty of encouragement and recognition of progress. Letters filled with truth, comfort, scriptures and unconditional love can mean the world to those who are trying to rebuild their lives.

Operations
Volunteers assist in a wide variety of technical, IT, clerical and customer service duties such as the production of marketing materials, general office tasks, and data maintenance. Volunteers can also be of great service for speaking presentations by providing speaker companionship and transportation, onsite IT collaboration, information table management, and/or answering ministry-related questions from people in attendance.

Confidentiality Agreement
Fundraising is, first and foremost, a form of ministry. It is a way of announcing our vision and providing an opportunity for other people to participate with us in our mission. This team of volunteers is gifted and passionate about raising money to help us sustain our Safe House and Victim Care ministries.
