We are currently in the process of finding a second home to expand the number of women we can help and create more beds to aid recovery. To raise money for this we are hosting a cocktail event on July 11th called “Love and Music heals”. Join us as we stand with these women we aim to help and become a part of a community of love and healing.
Dahlia Grove was founded and is based in Charlotte, NC. We are a sister organization to Thistle Farms based in Nashville, TN. Dahlia Grove is a nonprofit social enterprise seeking to empower and employ women survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual exploitation. We do this by providing a two-year rent-free restorative care home and ensuring resources for healing and recovery. We also offer premium-quality catering services, handmade giftware and event planning to give job training and employment for survivors.
