    2020 Program Accomplishments:Victoria's Friends made two trips to the strip clubs before Covid-19 restrictions closed the clubs on March 13,2020.Due to 2020 Covid Restrictions we re-grouped as an essential ministry - We took food, toiletries, and emergency items out as well as baskets/bags of love to dancers, single Moms and their children who called the hotline. We went out in groups of two to deliver the items to their homes and apartments. We gave out $18,616 in emergency assistance.We gave out $20,797 in scholarships.Numbers of ladies transitioning out of the clubs went skyrocketing as dancing was no longer an option.A number of participants also went through counseling programs to assist them in their journey.We offered the ladies online support with Journey group/Forward. Victoria's Friends honored participants by supporting them on Mother's Day and other holidays with gifts.Bridal showers and Christmas was provided for participants and their children. One club opened back up in December and we were able to drop off bags of love and Christmas gifts.
