Rotary Club Welcomes Megan Hall of Eden’s Glory

      At the June 10, 2025 Rotary Club meeting, Rotarian Zoriana Mills introduced Megan Hall, Director of Development at Eden’s Glory—an anti-trafficking organization that has been making a profound impact since its founding in Bond County in 2012.

      Megan shared the inspiring and challenging work of Eden’s Glory, which opened the doors to its residential home in 2015. Since then, the organization has operated a two-year, faith-based residential program that serves adult women survivors of human trafficking. In addition to housing, Eden’s Glory provides outpatient services to both survivors and alumni, all completely free of charge.

      The organization also serves as a critical resource to local communities by offering education and awareness programs such as Trafficking 101, Internet Safety, and Trauma-Informed Care. Megan emphasized that human trafficking is not just a global issue—it is happening locally, even in small and rural communities.

      Eden’s Glory has a sister home in California and frequently consults with other organizations nationwide to support survivor care models. They are also actively fostering a new program called Kairos, which will offer services specifically designed for youth survivors—children who have been trafficked, experienced violence, or are vulnerable to exploitation.
