A PLACE OF REFUGE FOR THE UNSHELTERED.
The Refuge on Memorial provides meals, daily necessities, and support for our neighbors in need. In addition to our overnight stay, we offer a day shelter open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM. Breakfast is served from 8–9 AM, lunch from 12–1 PM, and dinner from 4:30–5:30 PM. Guests also have access to hygiene items and showers, though shower times may vary. Along with these daily services, our team helps guests navigate community resources and connect with additional support for their next steps.
