CHURCH PARTNERSHIPS AND DRUG REHAB INITIATIVES - GET INVOLVED


Place of Refuge

Place of Refuge needs your help. Recovering addicts have made the commitment to begin a clean and sober life. Now they need your commitment to make this possible.

Here is how you can help:

  • Pray that God would continue to be the ultimate refuge and strength to those who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Pray that God’s people would provide the needed financial and human resources to make Place of Refuge a reality.
  • Volunteer. Many volunteer opportunities will become available at each stage of development. Please send us your contact information and we will keep you informed (see below.)
  • Give a gift . Place of Refuge needs immediate gifts and long-term pledges to help with acquiring a house and maintaining a quality program.

To send a gift or to make a pledge, contact:
