It is the goal of the Refuge, to provide assistance for physical, emotional, academic and spiritual needs of Johnson and Marion County residents. We are a faith based community outreach center that is supported by local churches, organizations, businesses and individuals. We rely on the gifts, talents and wisdom of our community to be available to those in need. We value our volunteers, board members, supporters, but most importantly our clients. We feel it is a privilege and responsibility to serve, and are grateful for the opportunity. We strive to be the best stewards of what we have been entrusted with.

What do we believe? We are a faith based outreach center. What this means is that we believe that the Bible is the written word of God. We believe that there is only one true God and that Jesus is the eternal son of God. We believe that as a Christ follower we are called to serve others through acts of kindness and sharing the gospel.
