Our groundbreaking for The Refuge Utah’s new campus was more than the start of construction. It was a celebration of the people, partnerships, and shared vision-making, a safer future possible for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone special!

The groundbreaking was just the beginning. We still need our community’s support to complete this campus and create a place where survivors and their children can heal, grow, and build a future beyond abuse.
Thank you for helping us build more than a shelter. Together, we are building safety, hope, and possibility. 💜
