Big news! 🙌

We’re excited to announce that City of Refuge has officially finalized the purchase of a new building! This is a huge step forward in our mission to serve those struggling with addiction and bring light, hope, and transformation to our community.

This new facility will allow us to expand our reach and better meet the needs of individuals by not only providing support for addiction recovery, but also offering wraparound services that care for the whole person!
The building does need some renovations, and we would love for you to partner with us as we work to bring this space to its full potential. Whether through giving, volunteering, or simply sharing this message, you can be part of the impact.

Together, we can make a lasting difference. 💙

What a great evening! 🏈✨
We had an amazing time watching the Super Bowl together with friends from The Hope Center — full of fellowship, food, and fun. A big thank you to City Point Restoration for providing the space to make it all happen!

And a special shout-out to our hometown hero, TreVeyon Henderson! 🔥 So proud to see him representing Hopewell on such a big stage — once Hopewell, always Hopewell!

The Hope Center was featured on the news for the work being done to provide hot meals and a warm place to stay during this season of extreme cold and dangerous weather. We are so thankful for the opportunity to serve our community when it’s needed most.
Because of your generosity, lives are being touched every single day. From meals to warmth to a safe place to rest, your donations make this possible — and we couldn’t do it without you!

Thank you to everyone who has already given.
And as the need continues, we are always open to additional donations and new partnerships to help us keep serving those in need.
If you’d like to partner with us, donate, or get involved, please reach out. Together, we can continue to be hope in hard times. 💙

Hopewell's Hope Center Shelter extends to 24-hour operations during winter storm, housing 34 people beyond its 27-person capacity.

Huge thank-you to Chick-fil-A Colonial Heights for hosting the City of Refuge for Friendsgiving! 🦃❤️

We’re so grateful for their partnership and their incredible generosity—both in opening their space and supporting our program.

And don’t forget—starting today, Chick-fil-A Colonial Heights will donate $2 to COR for every 6-count of cookies purchased! 🍪
This is a fun (and delicious!) way to show your support as well.

Thank you for blessing our community! 🙌
