About Us

We are a charitable 501(c)(3) Human/Social Services agency serving the Cleveland/Bradley County area. We provide assistance with job searching, education (life skills & job skills), literacy, and identification of available community resources. We commit ourselves to work in our community by partnering with residents to address needs and build hope. Our passion is to offer the possibility of a better life, along with the tools to build that life to as many as we can. This is our effort to offer a hand up to everyone we work with. The end result is a better community for everyone.

Mission Statement

The Refuge offers access to resources, information and opportunity so that those who find themselves in difficult economic or social situations may move from need to sustainability.
