\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEMPLOYEES. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MATT AND CAITLIN. IF YOU SEE THIS SIGN OUT IN PUBLIC, THIS UNIVERSAL SIGN, YOU KNOW THAT A HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIM IS CALLING OUT FOR HELP. AND TODAY THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE IS TAKING THEIR MISSION A STEP FURTHER. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE EMPLOYEES. THEY ARE HERE UP EARLY, PACKAGING THESE BOXES FOR SURVIVORS. USUALLY WHEN THEY ARE RESCUED, THEY DON\u2019T HAVE ESSENTIALS LIKE SOAP OR A TOOTHBRUSH OR EVEN SOME BODY WASH OR SHAMPOO. AND NOW THEY HAVE SOME ITEMS OF THEIR OWN. I HAVE KAREN JOINING ME THIS MORNING. SHE IS WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE, AND SHE\u2019S GOING TO BE PACKING SOME OF THESE BOXES AS WELL. WHAT CAN PEOPLE AT HOME DO TO HELP AND JOIN IN ON THIS MISSION? OH, ABSOLUTELY. WHAT A GREAT QUESTION. THERE\u2019S SO MUCH YOU CAN DO. YOU CAN CONTACT YOUR LOCAL CHARITIES, YOUR LOCAL YWCA. THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES THAT EVERY PERSON CAN GET INVOLVED, AND THAT\u2019S REALLY WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT TO SHOW THAT INVOLVEMENT IS KEY TO RECOVERY AND SUCCESS FOR OUR VICTIMS. NOW, YOU AND I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT UNIVERSAL SIGN, RIGHT, THAT WE\u2019VE BEEN SHOWING OUR VIEWERS ALL MORNING. TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THIS SIGN IN DIFFERENT PLACES, DIFFERENT STORES, RESTAURANTS. IT CAN BE HIDDEN AND YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A CLOSE EYE FOR THAT. ABSOLUTELY. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE HAND SIGNAL FOR HELP, YOU KNOW, RAISING YOUR HAND AND JUST LITERALLY MAKING THAT, THAT SIGN, YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU\u2019RE IN THE GROCERY STORE, IF SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU, TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT THEM AND LOOK TO SEE IF THEY\u2019RE ACTUALLY SHOWING THIS SIGN. IF YOU\u2019RE DRIVING ON A ROADWAY OR ANY ROADWAY, LOOK IN THE WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLES NEXT TO YOU. BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. IF YOU EVER SEE THIS SIGN, IF YOU\u2019RE ON THE TURNPIKE DIAL STAR 11, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY HAVE HELP. IF YOU\u2019RE ANYWHERE ELSE, DIAL 911. YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY GET THAT HELP. NOW, I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COUNTIES IN OUR AREA, INCLUDING FRANKLIN, DAUPHIN, LANCASTER, YORK AND SO MANY OTHERS THAT ARE SEEING HIGH OFFENSES WHEN IT COMES TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING. BUT FRANKLIN COUNTY BEING THE HIGHEST AT 14%. DOES THAT CHANGE THE WAY THAT YOU APPROACH THIS CAMPAIGN? AND ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS NEXT YEAR? ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE ARE GOING TO KEEP INCREASING WHAT WE DO HERE. THE DONATIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE FOR ALL SURVIVORS, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO MATTER WHAT COUNTY YOU\u2019RE COMING FROM, THAT WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING THERE FOR YOU. IF YOU HAD A MESSAGE THAT YOU COULD SHARE WITH THE SURVIVORS THAT WILL BE RECEIVING THESE BOXES TODAY, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? SPEAK UP, REACH OUT. IF YOU\u2019RE WATCHING THIS, THIS BROADCAST RIGHT NOW, AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU\u2019RE BEING HELD AGAINST YOUR WILL FOR ANY REASON, DIAL STAR 11. IF YOU\u2019RE ANYWHERE NEAR THE TURNPIKE WILL GET YOU HELP. 911 MAKE THE CALL. SAVE YOURSELF. KAREN. THANK YOU. WELL, IF YOU ARE A VICTIM LIKE SHE SAID, OR IF YOU WANT, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, DIAL THAT NUMBER RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SCREEN THAT YOU SEE THERE AND GET SOME HELP IMMEDIATEL\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
