Over the last decade, City of Refuge has provided a wide range of support for the thousands of displaced men, women and children who have resettled in Missouri. Our goal is to help refugees recover and regain control of their future.
In the past few years, we have experienced exponential growth and have exceeded the physical capacity of our former office space. This fall we will begin transitioning into a new building in the heart of Columbia.
The property sits in the midst of several refugee communities and serves as a physical representation of our message to the refugee community: You have a place here.
With counseling rooms, donation space, and an open gathering room, this building allows us to instantly triple our available program and service capacity. We will meet with more individuals and families, and there will be places for music lessons, places for our teenage youth to build memories with their mentors. Places for baby showers, and graduations, and church groups to meet. Places to feel safe, known, and cared for.
