Maple Crest residents and Bluffton community members joined together in a volunteer effort to help women who may be caught up in human trafficking. 

The SOAP (Save Our Adolescent Prostitutes) volunteer opportunity came out of Crime Victim Services, Lima, through a donation by a resident and her friend, and involved placing red stickers on bars of soap. 

Each sticker had a short series of questions on it concerning being forced to do something or seeing someone potentially in trouble, along with a national hotline number to call for assistance.
