The Central Ohio Rescue and Restore Coalition is the 21st of its kind to be established in the United States under the guidance of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to assist victims of human trafficking; rescuing victims through increased public and law enforcement awareness and restoring lives through social service support.
Since its inception in July 2007, the coalition has grown to include over 90 organizational members and 200 unaffiliated members, comprised of both concerned citizens and those who represent social services, faith-based, medical and law enforcement organizations. The Salvation Army serves as coalition manager, and other members include Doma International, Gracehaven, the Columbus Police Department, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the Ohio Department of Public Safety Office of Criminal Justice Services, the Ohio Attorney General's office, Veritas Community Church, Vineyard Church of Columbus, Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Herbert's CATCH program, and many others. The Coalition's work is focused in five area committees: Social Services, Law Enforcement, Public Awareness, Demand Reduction, and Legislative Advocacy.

Each committee meets monthly separate from the general body and works cooperatively towards the strategic goals identified by the Coalition as a whole. This allows for members to chose the area they would most like to focus in and gives way to many volunteer opportunities.
Our mission is to end human trafficking through public awareness, service to trafficked persons, advocacy, demand reduction, and resource and training support to law enforcement.
