The GFWC Intermediate League of Butler recently donated $10,000 to the Children’s Advocacy Center of Butler, the largest of a series of charitable donations which totaled $20,000 to 12 different nonprofit groups.

The Children’s Advocacy Center will use the money to bring in experts from the Human Trafficking Training Center to conduct training sessions on how to combat human trafficking. The training is mainly intended for local law enforcement agencies and first responders, but is open to other members of the public.

“The center will conduct training sessions specific for law enforcement and partnering agencies in Butler County initially,” said club member Vickie White. “The training will be opened to the community and neighboring law enforcement if possible.”
