I Used To Be A Resident At This Shelter . & All I Can Say Is, If You Need Help With Childcare, & Free Meals Everyday, & Free Water Etc, Then This Is The Place For You & Your Baby . But Don't Expect Anybody Here To Have Compassion For You, Or What You're Going Through . They're Only Nice When You First Get In . The Residents Are Messy & Are Always Trying To Get Involved In Other's Lives . This Is A Good Shelter, But Not A Good Program . I Was Discharged With My 2-Month Old For Frivolous Reasons .... No Reason To Put A Young Mother Out On The Street With Her Child . But I Digress . Anyone Who Reads This & Needs A Place To Stay, By All Means, See If They Have Availability . But You'd Just Have To Find Out What It's Really Like For Yourself .

I would highly recommend the City of Refuge for anyone interested in the programs that they offer or for general volunteer opportunities! I recently had the pleasure of working with Katie at City of Refuge to coordinate a service opportunity for a team at my work and could not be more pleased with the experience. Katie was extremely responsive while coordinating the event, gave an excellent tour of the facilities, and then was very hands-on with us during the actual service project. I seriously do not know how she does it all! For the actual service project, out team painted a room they were flipping, assembling furniture, and more. There's always plenty to do, so check out their website for more info!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I volunteered here through our Google Serve program. It was an honor for me to be able to contribute to the amazing work being done for those in need and the surrounding community. They have so many programs in place ( room & board, education for parents and children, trade job training, etc..). What blew me away was how much focus was placed on ensuring each program and all efforts were/are focused on ensuring the people being helped keep their dignity.

I've volunteered here so many times in the past, before covid. I'm glad to be back again this year, love working with the kids. The remodel of this place look so nice, you guys been working hard. Congratulations on all your accomplishments within the area.

While I can’t speak to the women’s shelter side of things I can speak to the community initiative programs and what they have done for my family. I have to give a huge thank you to the folks at City of Refuge (the owner) and the Veterans Molding Minds (Corey and Mike). They are helping men and women in and out of the community to find a new career path and learn a valuable trade skill. They also help with job placement and help students making lasting connections with employers in the community. The kinds folks here really are doing their best to reach people. I really appreciate what you all have done and continue to do. I wish the program a continued many years of success and want to thank you all from bottom of my heart for adding true value to the Atlanta community.
