Refuge Place Inc.

Today was another beautiful day of community, connection, and serving one plate at a time! ❤️

We were short on volunteers, but our amazing friends stepped up and helped us make it happen. A huge thank you to LLTY SNUG of Trinity Alliance, Kevin Pryor, and everyone who came out to serve and support!

And that chili was a HIT! 😂🔥 Everyone loved it!

We also received shoe donations that were put to good use and distributed to people who needed them. This is what community is about, showing up, helping where we can, and making every plate count.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Refuge Place Inc.! We hope to see you in two weeks. ❤️

You all did it! 🎉

Because of YOU, our amazing community we were able to raise $180 through the Hannaford Fight Hunger Bag Program during August! 🙌🏾

Every bag purchased was more than just a grocery bag. It was a small act of kindness that came together to make a BIG difference. This $180 will help cover a portion of the cost of one of our community lunches, helping us continue to feed and support our neighbors, one meal at a time. ❤️

To everyone who purchased a Hunger Bag, shared our posts, encouraged others, or simply supported what we do: THANK YOU! You guys are truly beyond amazing. We appreciate you more than words can say!

And guess what? IT’S NOT OVER! 🎉

We’ve been given another opportunity to participate in the Hannaford Fight Hunger Bag Program this October, and this time we’ll be at the Lansingburgh Hannaford! 🙌

So when you see those Hunger Bags in October, remember that your purchase can help put a meal on someone’s table right here in our community.

We know you’ve got us, and we love you right back! ❤️

Thank you for believing in Refuge Place Inc. and helping us continue to feed one person at a time, one meal at a time.

The weekend is almost here, and we have a little reminder! As you all plan your grocery shopping, this weekend, don’t forget to stop by Hannaford Supermarkets in Brunswick. Please pick up a Hunger Bag for just $2.50. For every bag purchased, $1 comes directly to support our feeding program. 🛒

One of the most meaningful things we’ve heard from the friends we serve is that our community meal has become something they look forward to every two weeks. It may only be every other Saturday, but the meal, the community, the smiles, and the time spent together mean so much. ❤️

That’s why every penny counts. Every meal matters. Every act of kindness makes a BIG difference.

So while you shop this weekend, grab a Hunger Bag and help us continue feeding our community; one meal at a time, one act of love at a time.❤️

📍 Hannaford – Brunswick
🛍️ $2.50 Hunger Bag = $1 donated to Refuge Place Inc.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY, FRIENDS !!! it’s your LAST CHANCE to support Refuge Place Inc. through the Hannaford Fight Hunger program!

When you spend $2.50 on a Fight Hunger bag, and we gets $1.00! 😍 this will help feed our neighbors. That’s what we call a two-for-one blessing! 😂🙌🏽

So, before you do your Monday grocery shopping, please swing by the Brunswick Hannaford Supermarkets grab a bag or two maybe five. Every $1 truly adds up!

It costs us about $350 or more to provide our community lunch every other Saturday, so your small purchase can help us continue putting nourishing meals on the table for our neighbors. ❤️🍽️

We believe in you all! Let’s see what we can do together. 💪🏽

THANK YOUUUUU! 🙏🏽❤️

WHAT A BLESSING TODAY WAS! ✨

Today was busy, beautiful, and truly encouraging! We came together, shared a meal AND had the joy of giving backpacks and school supplies to children and families as they prepare for a new school year. 🎒📚

Our hope was simple: to take at least one thing off a family’s plate and help the children start school with dignity, confidence, and excitement ❤️

This day would not have been possible without our amazing village!

Pioneer - NY — thank you for generously providing backpacks and making sure they were filled and ready for our kids! Dahvia Doring thank you for coordinating this project.

Broadview Federal Credit Union — thank you for supporting our Amazon Wish List.

Erin Hernandez from Commission on Economic Opportunity and Danielle Nicole, DiGrado, Deborah York Reiter — thank you for your continued support.

And to EVERYONE who supported us through our Amazon Wish List, thank you! Every single contribution helped us give back to the community that has helped shape Refuge Place Inc..

To our incredible volunteers, from the kitchen, setup, serving, organizing backpacks, helping families, and cleaning up — WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU! ❤️

To all the parents who brought their children out today, thank you for allowing us to celebrate your amazing kids. They are the leaders of tomorrow, and we are honored to help give them a great start. 🎓✨

And a special THANK YOU to our amazing board members for surprisingly celebrating me today! 🥹❤️ I truly couldn’t do this work without you!

As always, we will continue to do our best to show up for our community. It is a blessing to give when you can. 🙏🏽

📅 See you September 12th at 12 PM!
📍 Under the Hoosick Street Bridge

Stay connected, keep supporting, and get ready for our next adventure! 🥰

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Today was a most special day at our Saturday community meal.

We will always be forever thankful for the support of Pioneer - NY and Broadview Credit Union and our community supporters for the generous donations to the Back-To-School backpack giveaway. We supported over one hundred children to start the school year with the necessary supplies and backpacks to be successful.

Strong and dedicated volunteers set up (and broke down) tables and chairs and manned the pop up food pantry tables.

Our kitchen and meal volunteers chopped, cooked and served a delicious child friendly meal of macaroni and cheese, chicken legs, veggies, chips and watermelon! Every single serving of food was enjoyed and the serving dishes were empty!

Still other volunteers supervised the backpack giveaway! There were some happy kids here today!

Perhaps the true highlight of our day today was to recognize and honor the woman who had the vision of Refuge Place, Inc ~ Fortune!
This summer, while being a supportive wife, loving mother, dedicated worker and a diligent student, Fortune completed the required studies to be awarded her Masters Degree!
What an inspiration and exemplary example she sets for others!
Congratulations Fortune!
Refuge Place, Inc wouldn’t be what it is without you and your always inclusive way of drawing all together.
You are a true blessing!
