The Cupcake Girls facilitate connections between community resources and individuals involved in all realms of the sex industry, including individuals who have been sex trafficked. Through trained volunteers and community partners, we respectfully and discreetly provide individuals with resources and support tailored to fit his or her needs by building personal relationships; one cupcake at a time. At The Cupcake Girls, we make a concerted effort to build a relationship with each and every individual we meet. We recognize that all relationships are founded upon trust and we strive to allow relationships to build organically following the lead of each individual. Our cupcakes serve as an icebreaker; a means for us to simply say hello and say that we are here if you need us. As trust develops, monthly cupcakes may turn into phone calls or coffee dates and we often find ourselves invited into an individual’s life assisting by any means necessary. Since The Cupcake Girls' origination, we have partnered with doctors, dentists, therapists, tutors, lawyers, financial advisers, and other skilled professionals who have shared their talents and expertise at little to no cost. We have assisted as babysitters, chauffeurs, shoulders to cry on, hands to hold, cheerleaders, stylists, mentors, and friends. Importantly, while some individuals request our assistance, other individuals in the adult entertainment industry thrive and are not in need of our services. We acknowledge that not everyone working in the adult entertainment industry needs additional support and/or connections to community resources. As in most situations, there are a spectrum of experiences and necessities. Wherever an individual finds him or herself, the Cupcake Girls are there to offer support, whether it is celebrating a success, offering help during a crisis, or finding an important resource connection.
