OUR ORGANIZATION 

Refuge and Restoration is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization located in Florissant, MO, that has been in existence since 1999.  We serve in many capacities within our suburban community as well as adjacent urban communities. Our foundational beginnings were via transitional housing; helping men who were incarcerated, under employed or unemployed, deconstruct then reconstruct their lives. Estimated, we help over 250 families per year through various means such as family and marriage counseling, crisis outreaches, youth services, and various others. We provide assistance for minor and major needs; inclusive of items such as toiletries, outerwear for the winter, utility help, food, employment via our Jobs for Life curriculum, and career development via entrepreneur training, College Prep with ACT training, housing, as well as family counseling to promote healthier homes. In times past, we have joined with local school districts to deploy volunteers within the school’s reading and after school programs, mentoring, as well as, operation food search; which served over the Summer 150 children 3 hot meals per day. In addition to whom we serve directly; indirectly we have served through collaboration: Intervarsity, Jobs for Life National, and we have served the Christian Missionary Alliance to Africa in a hospital building effort in New Guinea through the support of missionaries.
