Mercy Gate Ministries hosting fundraiser

Mercy Gate Ministries will host its “Keys to Freedom” fundraiser Monday, May 11, at 11th Street Cowboy Bar, as the organization continues expanding services to support survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

The event, scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m., is free and open to the public and will feature live music, appetizers and a 50/50 raffle.

Organizers say the fundraiser will support Mercy Gate’s ongoing programs, which provide direct care for women ages 18 and older recovering from sexual trauma and trafficking. Services include residential and nonresidential programs, court advocacy and family reunification support.
