Erik Swenk supporting Love Missions work against human trafficking in Seminole County

Love Missions Against Human Trafficking

March 15, 2025•1 min read

As a supporter of Love Missions for years, I was glad to connect the organization with the Rotary Club of Lake Mary, where I am a member. Florida ranks among the highest states for human trafficking. Our club visited Palate Coffee Roasters to hear Tina Kadolph’s story as a survivor and to learn how Love Missions serves others walking a similar path.

All proceeds from Palate support that mission — and the coffee is excellent. If you are looking for a daily stop with purpose, start there.

Love Missions once operated an ice cream shop across the street that employed survivors; COVID forced its closing. That hard chapter helped the organization grow on its home block in downtown Sanford, with a boutique and a small safe haven, while work continues toward a larger recovery campus on property elsewhere in the community.

I look forward to continuing to support Tina and Love Missions.
