Lastly, The Refuge is struggling right now to keep it’s doors open. We are particularily in need of Financial Support ASAP. We are trying to raise $1700 in next few days. And, need $250 by tommorrow. We have a single mom, with 1 child who has been evicted and will be on the streets and we need to raise about $650 of that number for her. We have several families that we need food and Christmas items for them and their children. Our food pantry is in need of canned goods and nonperishables. We need blankets, socks, and underwear for our homeless outreach. We are in need of a good laptop for ministry and our programs. And, lastly we need a minivan or full size van for our outreaches for picking up food and donations, and for driving people we serve to appointments. If you can help in any way, please call us at 727 278 1547. You can send checks, which are tax deductable, to the Refuge 1818 29th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33713.
