501(c)(3) · Fort Worth, Texas

Fund the fight in Tarrant County.

We raise funds so taskforce members can do the work: recover people, house survivors, and keep officers equipped. The coalition sits at one table. We pay for what that table decides next.

The foundation

A 501(c)(3) for the coalition.

The Tarrant County 5 Stones Taskforce was founded in 2014. Fort Worth Police recognized the Taskforce as an official community policing effort of the Human Trafficking Unit in 2016. In 2020, the Foundation was created to support Taskforce operations and projects.

The Foundation supports the Taskforce, but does not provide direct services. If you need help or want to sit in a monthly briefing, that path is on the Taskforce site.

Collaboration makes each agency, institution, precinct, and congregation more powerful. That’s what 5 Stones does for Tarrant County’s unique fight against human trafficking.
Unbound North Texas

5 Stones has been invaluable in uniting law enforcement and anti-trafficking organizations so survivors get a more seamless path. More people have been served because of that unity.
Freedom Shield Foundation

Participating in the 5 Stones taskforce has provided ways to heal from my own wounds and to partner with local agencies to eliminate trafficking in our community.
