The Refuge Center exists to offer excellent, accessible and affordable mental and emotional healthcare services in support of a transformational impact on communities.
As you will see throughout this report, The Refuge Center is leading the way in the mental health movement in this community. We believe that no one should struggle or suffer alone. When someone sits and listens to our pain, it begins to give our pain and story dignity, and as that happens our pain transforms and our stories have purpose. Not only do we heal, but we began to use our voice to help others heal. And we believe that the community as a whole is positively and profoundly impacted by each person who finds emotional freedom.
"Mental health and emotional wellness continue to be one of the central issues faced by our country and local communities..."
Bill Parsons, Board Chair, 21-22
In 2022, we raised $2.5 million for a total of 5.5 million. With the increase of building costs and interests rates, our project is how estimated to cost 12.7 million dollars. We are looking to raise an additional 7.2 million to be debt free and hope to break ground in 2023.
