Our Mission
Jasmine Road’s mission is to provide a path to healing and employment for women survivors of sex trafficking, prostitution and addiction.
Our Vision
Our vision is that Jasmine Road will be known as a loving community that offers women opportunities to flourish, one life at a time.
Our History
Jasmine Road is modeled after the very successful Thistle Farms non-profit which was founded in Nashville, Tennessee by Episcopal priest Becca Stevens more than 20 years ago. The Greenville affiliate was incorporated in 2016 as a result of a partnership between Christ Church Episcopal, Triune Mercy Center and Bon Secours, St. Francis Health System. When Jasmine Road’s first safe house opened its doors in May 2018, it joined more than 40 Thistle Farms sister agencies around the country in offering a transformative two-year residential program with an innovative social enterprise component, the first of its kind in Greenville.

Through community partnerships, we work together to address the healing needs of each woman from an evidence- based holistic perspective.
Bloom

Healthcare & Dental Services
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Addiction recovery treatment & support

Our Social Enterprises
Jasmine Road’s social enterprise program offers stable and sustainable employment opportunities that also maximize positive social impact in the Greenville community, while generating funding for non-profit operations.
The Jasmine Road social enterprise program provides meaningful career experience working in one of our businesses, including Jasmine Kitchen. We support and empower women to learn skills such as customer service, management, marketing, teamwork, and accountability, through creating and branding unique products.
Candles
Each day at Jasmine Road starts with the lighting of a candle for a meditation and prayer circle. In this sacred space of infinite giving and receiving, the Jasmine Road community shares stories of healing and growth. We light the candle for ourselves and for one another because we are all worthy of love and belonging, as well as for those who haven’t found their way home yet.
Jewelry
Creativity is an incredible tool for healing and growth. Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted by survivors with semiprecious stones with healing properties. Our bracelets are also perfect for layering and gift giving. You can add a few drops of essential oil to your lava stones to get the many benefits that support physical, spiritual, and mental wellbeing.
Restaurant
The capstone of our social enterprise is Jasmine Kitchen, a lunch café providing job training, employment, and career building opportunities -- the first-of-its-kind in Greenville. Jasmine Kitchen seeks to remove barriers to employment for survivors, and is a nurturing and safe gathering place for our entire community to share healthy meals together and be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
