RESTORING DIGNITY THROUGH CLEAN STARTS
Live Laugh Love Laundry
Everyone deserves to feel fresh, confident, and cared for. Our monthly laundry events provide free washing, lunch, and connection for our unhoused neighbors in Redding. Volunteers offer a helping hand, a kind word, and a reminder that every person matters.
We bring dignity back through clean clothes, shared meals, and genuine friendships — one load at a time.
HEALING HEARTS THROUGH MUSIC AND BELONGING
Hope Street Choir
Music has the power to unite and uplift. The Hope Street Choir brings together Redding's homeless and housed community members to sing, share, and grow. Through joyful rehearsals and performances, members find confidence, friendship, and purpose — discovering hope in harmony.
We don't just sing songs — we sing stories of courage, healing, and community.
A SAFE SPACE FOR HEALING AND NEW BEGINNINGS
The Shift Recovery Café
Recovery is more than sobriety — it's rebuilding life with support and belonging. The Shift Recovery Café offers a drug- and alcohol-free environment where members commit to growth, accountability, and connection. Through weekly circles, meals, and classes, individuals rediscover strength and purpose.
We walk beside those on the path of healing, reminding them they are never alone.
HOPE IN EVERY GIFT
YOUR KINDNESS CHANGES EVERYTHING
At The Refuge Community, every act of generosity becomes a ripple of hope. When you give, you're not just providing clean clothes, warm meals, or safe spaces — you're reminding someone that they are seen, loved, and worth believing in.
Your support helps a neighbor rediscover dignity, a singer find their voice again, and a soul in recovery take one more step toward healing. Together, we're building a Redding where everyone belongs — where compassion is more than a word, it's a way of life.
