our story

A   H E A R T   T O   R E A C H   A N D   R E S T O R E
2007
The first branch of Created was founded in Tampa, Florida. A team from the Tampa area
was working alongside members of Samaritana, an organization committed to reaching individuals exploited by the sex trade in the Phillipines. The nine month experience abroad in Manila inspired this Tampa-based team to establish a local organization committed to reaching women experiencing exploitation in the sex industry. Created Tampa began various community outreaches with the realization that there was no organization at that time dedicated to reaching women involved in the sex industry.


2012
 Created Gainesville was formed.  At that time there was not a place for women caught in sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in the area, so we committed ourselves to befriending women, inviting them into trusting relationships, and empowering them to leave the sex industry. We began with outreach, going to the places where women were most vulnerable and learning what they would need to get out. 

2015
Our Created Care program was launched. We have been offering support and services to women ever since. We continue to develop additional opportunities and partnerships in our community to provide women with the best resources and support they need to start a new chapter in their lives.

2017
We were certified as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since we were independently established, we've served over 900 women through outreach and restorative care programs. We've also made 105 awareness presentations in the greater Gainesville area, and hosted 10 prevention classes in local school and youth programs.
