City of Refuge

Passenger Vans - 2022

The Youth Development Program at City of Refuge continues to grow and expand to serve more at-risk youth in the neighborhood. This gift funds two new passenger vans allowing staff to pick up and drop off youth who need transportation assistance, and it allows them to take enriching field trips to expose them to new experiences throughout Atlanta.

New Bedroom Furnishings for Eden Village - 2022

City of Refuge is making great strides with their housing programs in order to make rooms feel more like home for single women and families experiencing homelessness. When the environment feels more like home, residents are more open to their programs, build stronger relationships, and become healthier for getting back on their feet. This gift funds new furnishings for five bedrooms at Eden Village, including an upgrade from a twin bed to a full bed, artwork, and linens.

Workforce Scholarships - 2022

Two of the greatest barriers Atlanta's Westside residents face when seeking and retaining employment are limited access to quality vocational training and a lack of connections to potential employers. This gift helps remove these barriers to break the cycle of poverty for six individuals by providing six scholarships for City of Refuge's NAPA Automotive training program.
