January 24th at 9:30am: Ink 180 Documentary Viewing
Willow Creek Church
67 E Algonquin Road, South Barrington, IL
Many victims of trafficking are being tattooed by their captors so that if they are ever found, they can be tracked back and returned to their 'owners.' These tattoos are sometimes names, but often bar codes. Ink 180 has covered or removed these destructive markings for victims since he began in October of 2011. INK 180 exists to offer the opportunity for a real second chance to the least of these, the invisible, the forgotten, the discarded. Chris provides his time, supplies, artwork, entirely free of charge to the victims. Register Here
