Building Refuge
In order for anything to grow, it must be firmly planted.
With the demand for counseling services at an all-time high, it’s imperative for The Refuge Center to construct a larger and permanent facility with the support of our generous community partners.
Help us make an impact.
Your assistance will enable The Refuge Center to extend its reach, serving a significantly larger portion of our community, more than half of those children and teens, with the potential to help 5,000 clients through 40,000 counseling sessions in this new home, all through working in collaboration with nonprofit partners across Middle Tennessee and beyond. Just imagine the life-changing impact this can have on individuals, couples, children, and families in our community.
Our biggest objective currently is raising the last $1.5M needed in order to move into our new location in November 2024. Thanks to The Cal Turner Family Foundation and a private Refuge donor, we have a way to get there: a total of $750k in matches that, once reached, will get us what we need to move in and increase our capacity to serve clients!
Take a look at the progress so far!
Your support makes this mission possible.
At The Refuge Center, we firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their background, past experiences, or income level deserves the highest quality care and the best opportunities for healing.
We believe growth is not always just about “more” and “bigger” but is also about “deeper” and “richer.”
Firmly planted. The Refuge Center’s 15,200 square foot facility and campus will embody our culture of compassionate care. This facility will feature dedicated spaces like an outdoor prayer chapel, serene walking trails, a healing garden and prayer labyrinth, playground for children, and a spacious multi-purpose room for seminars and group activities. If you have any questions about this new facility, please visit the FAQ’s at the bottom of this page or reach out to us. We’re here to provide answers and engage with you.
