Call to Freedom is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, dedicated to serving victims of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation through holistic, survivor-informed services.  The organization operates on a continuum of care model, providing safety, transitional housing, medical assistance, and case management to help individuals navigate their path from victim to survivor. 

Since 2016, Call to Freedom has served nearly 1,900 individuals, addressing the complex needs of those impacted by exploitation.  Beyond direct client services, the organization engages in community education, training businesses, schools, and law enforcement to recognize trafficking indicators, and advocates for legislative changes to decriminalize illegal activities survivors may have been forced into. 

The organization is located at 4501 S Technology Dr, Sioux Falls, SD 57106.  It is fully funded by donations and relies on volunteers for various roles, requiring a year-long commitment to ensure program continuity.
