💙 Getting help starts with a call. You don't have to figure it out alone.

If you or someone you know is facing housing uncertainty, The Refuge is here to listen, answer questions, and help you understand the next steps. 🏠 Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. You can expect a judgment-free conversation and an honest answer about how we may be able to help.

Please call before visiting, as our shelter location moves between partner churches.

You are not alone. We're here to help.

📢 A FRIENDLY REMINDER: TEMPORARY CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT ❄️💙
The Refuge will be temporarily closed from October 12 through November 2 as our team prepares for the winter season!

This is an important time for us to get everything ready for our busiest season of the year so we can continue providing refuge, relief, and restoration to our community when the cold weather arrives. 🏠❤️

💙 We are still accepting wishlist items! Your donations help us prepare to serve our community during the colder months, and we are so grateful for every contribution. Thank you for helping us get ready for the season ahead! 🙏

✨ Today is a good day to be proud of all the progress you've made! Celebrate how far you've come, even the small steps. Every challenge you've overcome and every step forward is something to be proud of. 💛

Keep going, keep growing, and give yourself credit for the journey! 🌱

🚐💙 Help The Refuge Keep Moving Forward!

As we prepare for the upcoming season beginning November 1, The Refuge is in need of a 15-passenger van and a small vehicle to help transport guests to churches, appointments, and other important destinations.

Our goal is to raise $40,000 to make this possible, and we need our amazing community's help! Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to providing reliable transportation and continuing our mission of refuge, relief, and restoration. 🙏

Every gift helps. Every mile matters. ❤️

If you're able, please consider making a donation today and helping The Refuge continue serving those in need.

Thank you for being part of this mission and helping us keep it moving forward. God bless! 💙🙏

💙 What Guides Us: Our Values

At The Refuge, everything we do is rooted in three simple values:

🤝 Dignity First — Every person is treated with respect, warmth, and genuine care, regardless of belief.

🏠 A Safe Place — We provide a secure, welcoming environment where guests can rest, recover, and plan their next step.

🙏 Church Powered — Partner churches, volunteers, and neighbors make our work possible. It’s Lapeer taking care of Lapeer. 💙

Together, we’re creating a community where people can find refuge, support, and a path forward.
