Rescue Us. Inc is a long term residential, non-profit, faith-based organization that houses survivors of human trafficking, forced labor and domestic servitude. We facilitate the restoration of the survivors by providing shelter, food, clothes and connect them with all the community resources.

That is where we come in to meet them where they are.
