✨ Run for Freedom Sponsor Spotlight: Corinthian Mortgage Group ✨

Our 4th Annual Run for Freedom wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors! Their support helps make this event a success while advancing the mission of Rest Stop Ministries to restore survivors and stop oppression.

As we count down to race day, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on the businesses and community partners who are running alongside us in the fight against domestic sex trafficking. Join us in celebrating these amazing supporters who are helping make freedom possible!

Sometimes a simple introduction through a local networking group leads to something meaningful! Our Community Engagement Manager, Connie, met Jennifer Morris, owner of @CorinthianMortgageGroup, through Lebanon In Motion, and we’re so glad their paths crossed!

Jennifer has a heart for her community and a passion for supporting local small businesses and nonprofits. Now, she’s bringing that same community-minded spirit to Rest Stop Ministries as a first-time sponsor of our 4th Annual Run for Freedom!

We love seeing local business owners use their influence to make a difference right here in our community. Jennifer, thank you for choosing to support RSM and for helping shine a light on the work being done to restore survivors of domestic sex trafficking and stop oppression.

We’re delighted to have Corinthian Mortgage Group joining us for this year’s race!

👟 Come be part of the movement on November 14, 2026! Run, walk, or cheer as we come together for freedom!

🍂🎃 A Little Fall Fun at Octoberfest! 🎃🍂

Beautiful weather, festive fall fun, a little shopping, and some delicious food made for a wonderful day out for RSM residents! ❤️

The ladies enjoyed exploring the local Octoberfest food and craft fair, browsing the booths, soaking up the sunshine, and taking in all the sights, sounds, and flavors of the season.

And of course, no festival outing is complete without something delicious to eat! A special thank-you to our community partners at Fried Green Tomatoes Food Truck, @FriedGreenTomatoes_SecretSauce, for helping make the day even more special.

At RSM, restoration happens in many ways. Sometimes it looks like hard work and healing, and sometimes it looks like laughter, community, fresh air, and the simple joy of making new and joy-filled memories together. We’re grateful for opportunities like these!
