What is Refuge?

Refuge is our response to homelessness, 143 million orphans worldwide, children placed in foster care because of abuse or neglect, thousands of people dying of starvation everyday, kids with no voice, and loneliness.

Refuge seeks to raise awareness and create opportunities to help children in need. Our mission is to recruit quality foster care families, provide temporary shelter, encourage child sponsorship, give adoption assistance, mentor, lead mission trips, design service opportunities, advocate for kids, and encourage kids and families.

Locally, we want to make it hard for a child in the lake Chelan Valley to be uncared for. In a community with so much beauty, nice homes, prosperity, and generous people, there is no reason any child should go without a coat, food, a home, or the love of a caring adult. We want to partner with parents, schools, churches, individuals, and organizations to help kids thrive.
