What we do
Even after arriving and securing an apartment, many families are unable to invest in furniture and other home goods, often sleeping on the floor, as they work to pay off debts and establish a new life.
Ruth’s Refuge is the only organization in the city dedicated to providing the building blocks of a new home for refugees.
Over the past year, our team has helped hundreds of refugees and asylum seekers furnish and supply their homes. Your financial contribution allows us to help so many more.
