We had a wonderful day at the range with CCSO Civilian Academy. Gained a couple of new volunteers, and lead to a possible grant!

We’re launching a new Refuge Point campaign to provide bottled water for our Sheriff’s Office deputies.
It may not sound like much, but deputies regularly use a simple bottle of water to connect with people in crisis. It helps slow things down, build trust, and open the door to conversation when it matters most.
It also helps them push through long shifts, extended scenes, and search & rescue missions when they’re out far beyond normal hours.
This is one of those quiet, practical needs that has a real impact every single day.
Our goal is to ensure every deputy has water readily available—for themselves and the people they serve. 100% of donations go directly to the purchase of water.

Yesterday was a truly meaningful day for Refuge Point.

We had the honor of supporting Sheriff’s Office deputies, Search & Rescue Historic Human Remains Detection K9 teams, forensic investigators, and many others during a cold-case investigation of a teenager who disappeared in 1971.

It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day alongside the river—an incredible setting for such important and careful work. More than that, it was a day marked by teamwork, purpose, and determination. There were plenty of smiles, strong collaboration, and a shared commitment to serve with excellence.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to come alongside these dedicated professionals—providing meals, coffee, and encouragement as they carried out this important mission.

Please continue to keep all those involved in your thoughts and prayers.
