Refuge and Restoration NPO We are cultivating innovation and brilliance to produce socioeconomic change agents for the future.

Refuge and Restoration is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization located in Florissant, MO, that has been in existence since 1999, and formally held as a non profit organization in 2001. We serve in many capacities within our suburban community as well as adjacent urban communities. Our foundational beginnings were via transitional housing; helping men who were incarcerated, under employed or unemployed, deconstruct then reconstruct their lives. Estimated, we help over 250 families per year through various means such as family and marriage counseling; partnering with agencies as well to promote family counseling if need and healthier homes, crisis outreaches, youth services, and various others. We provide assistance for minor and major needs; inclusive of items such as toiletries, outerwear for the winter, utility help, food, employment via our Jobs for Life curriculum, and career development via entrepreneur training. We also help students one on one with the human resources available to us for college prep, enrollment help as well as ACT coaching. In times past, we have joined with local school districts to deploy volunteers within the school’s reading and after school programs, mentoring, as well as, operation food search; which served over the Summer 150 children 3 hot meals per day. In addition to whom we serve directly; indirectly we have served through collaboration: Intervarsity, Jobs for Life National, and we have served the Christian Missionary Alliance to Africa in a hospital building effort in New Guinea through the support of missionaries who are currently serving in Thailand, in addition to Love God Love People in Haiti via missionaries as well. We believe our impact has been vital in raising a standard of living that creates prosperity and upward mobility. Refuge and Restoration has been dedicated to this labor for 17 years.

Happy Groundbreaking Anniversary, R&R Marketplace! 🎉🏗️

3 years ago today, we put shovels in the ground on a site that had sat empty for more than 18 years, the former Schnucks Plaza on West Florissant. Many people saw a vacant lot. We saw a place where families could grow, careers could launch, and businesses could thrive.

Today, that vision is a 91,000 sq. ft. community campus in the heart of North County, home to:
👶🏾 Brilliant Angels Academy
💼 Employ St. Louis
🚀 North County Innovation Center
🏦 Midwest BankCentre
⛪ Refuge and Restoration Church (Newly Moved In)

Along with partners who serve thousands of our neighbors every year.

To every donor, partner, volunteer, sustainability partner, contractor, and neighbor who believed in this dream: THANK YOU. This ground was broken for our community and built with our community.

And we’re not done yet. Phase II and the R&R Multiplex are next! 🙌🏾

Refuge and Restoration Marketplace would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Jones family, our community and friends. It is with profound sadness that we write this. However, we do not mourn as those that have no hope. Mayor Reggie had a hope in Christ and a faith that was unmatched by anyone.

We witnessed his belief for ourselves. When no one believed R&R Marketplace could happen, he did. He was steadfast the entire 12 year journey. There was no one like him. We are grateful to have been on the journey while he was in leadership.

Mayor Reggie became more than a Mayor for us. He became our friend. Every Mayors Ball we were at his table. Every event we had he was there, from our very first Story Time in the Park to preschool graduations at BAA to Springfest on the lot. It didn't matter how big the event or how small...he was there.

We love him and we miss him already! R&R will never forget Mayor Reggie Jones, our friend.

We found a million photos of our journey together. We love you Mrs. Rukiya Jones. We are here for you & your family. We love you City of Dellwood, Missouri

We are The R&R Marketplace

I have been randomly thinking about what this simple object has taught me about industry and business. Truly a full list of things that came from just reflecting on this relic. lol.

Yall may or may not remember this telephone (telling my age =)...but I do. It's called a...rotary phone.

Business things I've learned from this phone:

1. You could put a lock on the 1 to keep folks from dialing long distance on your line - ACCESS

2. It set on its own table in everyone's house - PROMINENCE

3. A 400 page phone book that was filled with white and yellow pages set near it too. My grandmother taught me how to navigate that book to find companies & people I needed to connect with. Yellow was for business connection & white was for people connection. - RESOURCE

4. It took forever to dial a number and if you messed up one number you had to hang up & start over. - PATIENCE

5. It rang intrusively loud- there was no ringer adjustment. Lol - FLEXIBILITY

6. There were sometimes others on the line when you picked up already talking. Lol. You'd have to ask them to hang up so you could make a call...that was called a party line...lol. - TRANSPARENCY

7. Nosy people could sneak on your call too and listen in. - SAFEGUARDING

8. There was only one phone in a house so there were NO private calls...you were in the living room talking to Billy and everyone could hear you. Lol 😆 - DISCRETION

9. There was no two way or three way calling. If someone was on your phone you got a busy signal when trying to call...which you either kept dialing until you got through or you got in the car and just drove to there house. Lol 😆 🤣 - EX*****ON

ATTENTION: THIS EVENT IS NOT AN AUTHORIZED EVENT. We were not made aware of this event until today sadly. Which means they never sought authorization to be on our lot nor permitting with Dellwood, Mayor Reggie Jones . Thank you all for understanding. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.
