This Thanksgiving our hearts are full. We’re grateful for a community that shows up, gives generously, and cares deeply for others. More than anything we are grateful for God who gives us grace, mercy and the ability to serve Him. As we gather around our own tables, we remember those in our community who may be walking through hard seasons and pray for them.

Thank you for praying, giving, and stepping in with compassion. We pray your day is filled with rest, gratitude, and the people you love. Happy Thanksgiving from Refuge International 🧡🦃

Community, we need your help.
We have worked hard to keep the shelves stocked this week, but they have been emptied every single day. The need is real, and we want to continue meeting it, but we cannot do it alone. If you have anything to spare, please know every item goes directly to local families in need.

You can help in two ways:
• Bring non-perishable food items to the food bank at the corner of JC’s
• Donate on our website so we can purchase items to keep it stocked

And a gentle but honest reminder: please take only what you need. Do not take everything. There are many people in our community who could use this pantry, and taking just what you need helps make sure there is enough for everyone.

If you or your family need support, please take what you need, and if you are able, leave some for others.

In just one day, the shelves were emptied. That is exactly why this food bank matters. ❤️ It’s a powerful reminder of how real the need is right here in our community and how much good we can do together.

We’ll be restocking soon, but we need your help to keep it filled for the neighbors who depend on it. Every donation makes a difference.

Refuge International has always been quick to respond when disaster strikes, but sometimes the greatest needs come quietly. Our team has been meeting and praying through ways to serve even when a physical disaster is not the cause for need.

We’ve stocked the food bank today for those in need, but our goal is to keep it filled and available as often as possible.

Right now, we’re beginning with a food and hygiene drive to support families impacted by recent SNAP benefit changes. Donations can be dropped off at JC’s, where the food bank—set up years ago by a local family—will be stocked and restocked as needs arise. We hope to keep it even more stocked as the community continues to give.

If you or someone you know could use a little help, the food bank is located on the corner beside JC’s on Shore Road. It is completely self-service, and you are welcome to stop by anytime and take what you need, when you need it.

Together, we can serve our neighbors and remind our community that help does not only come in times of disaster. It comes from hearts willing to give. DM us if you have any questions 🫶🏼

Believe me when I tell you, when you donate to Refuge International every dime goes to help someone in need. From tiny houses and clean water in the mountains of India to the devastation in western North Carolina. Even right here at home in Gilbert America. Had a blast today serving in our community by building Mr and Mrs Jumper a much needed handicap ramp as Mrs Jumper recovers at home. Please keep them and their family in your prayers as they try to get things back to normal. Happy Anniversary to the Jumpers.
