Who We Are
Refuge Outreach Services is a newly formed extension of Refuge Food Pantry, which has been serving the Monument Corridor community for over 15 years. What began as a small effort providing 200 supplemental meals per week has grown significantly—since COVID, we now distribute over 2,000 meals weekly.
We receive daily food donations from local retailers, including fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and bread products. Additionally, we receive a monthly USDA donation of six pallets, consisting of canned and frozen foods. While our daily donations are distributed within the week, USDA donations are strategically allocated over a four-week period to maximize impact.
Our Vision
We envisioned a warm, no cost market where anyone in need can select the food and basics that fit their life. In a larger space with daily access, families can find what suits their tastes and health needs. This people-centered model lowers waste, expands our reach, and honors dignity, choice, and independence.
Our Programs
Building a better future through compassion
Weekly Food Distribution
Our food distribution takes place every Tuesday from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, offering both a walk-up line and a drive-thru option to accommodate our community's needs.
Harvest of Hope Market
We are working to expand our services with a new free grocery store model that will provide families with a more dignified shopping experience and reduce food waste. A market-style approach will allow community members to select foods that meet their family's specific needs, preferences, and dietary requirements while reducing waste and increasing the types of families we can support.
Opening: On hold till funding is secured
Who Qualifies: All families and individuals, in need, are welcome. We regularly have family's from outside our city use our service.
How It Will Operate: The Harvest of Hope Market will operate Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, providing daily access to fresh and nutritious food. We will also expand our services to include clothing, diapers, household goods, and support services including financial guidance, job search assistance, and educational resources.
