The Refuge Place

Donation protected
Homelessness is ever growing especially here in Central Indiana.  Many of our homeless friends are not equipped to deal with the harsh elements and are literally dying in the streets.  We have lost more than 50 of our homeless friends last year.  With the unprecedented growth of the homeless community in this city we are seeing an increase in cases of frostbite to the point of amputation from the extreme conditions that they have to endure daily.  Our homeless friends are literally dying in the streets and ravaged by the effects of displacement.  Help us to create safe shelter for the homeless, a Refuge Place.  These are the neediest cases in Indianapolis where tent camps are often closed down.  We want to provide safe camping, shelter and housing on property they cannot be thrown off of, but have the real opportunity to re-establish their lives.

Our hope is to raise ennough funds to build a new larger homeless refuge community that has an organized tent area, tiny houses, dormitory with showers and a dining hall.  We hope to make this a community build and ask that individuals, civic groups, contractors, churchs, fraternities and sororities will help to invest in rebuilding lives devastated by homelessness.

With your help, we will be able to assist in jump-starting new lives for 127 of our homeless friends.  We can compassionately provide 30 tent dwellings, 25 tiny homes and 72 dorm rooms.

The investment in others is the providing of opportunities to grow and become self sufficient.  We will develop new business enterprises to employ homeless and formerly incarccerated persons.  Not being an enabler or crutch, rather a lending hand up.  Our moral obligation is to steer others to the place of wholesome transformation.  To build worth is to help ones take responsibility for their growth and change.

Let's all work together to see people live better lives that add to the greatness of community.

Our purpose is singular, to serve those that have themeselves with no place to lay their heads.  We ask that you join us in fulfilling Matthew 25:35-36 "FOR I WAS HUNGRED, AND YE GAVE ME MEAT: I  WAS THIRSTY, AND YE GAVE ME DRINK; IWAS A STRANGER, AND YE TOOK ME IN; 36 NAKED AND YE CLOTHED ME; I WAS SICK, AND YE VISITED ME;  I WAS SICK, AND YE VISITED ME; I WAS IN PRISON, AND YE CAME UNTO ME." 
Help make someone great again!

A new life begins at the Place of Refuge.  Refuge Place will provide the loving invironment conducive
 for healthy and wholesome development.  For in this atomosphere one will grow; regaining self- worth, self- confidence, and the skills that are needed to be successful,  productive individuals.

Make the choice to help one change!  Give the gift of dignity today.
