Who We Are
Our Mission is to provide respite, resources and support to parents and guardians of children with special needs or life-threatening medical conditions where they will be refreshed, restored and renewed in their roles as caregiver.
What We Do
At David's Refuge, our goal every day is to help prevent caregiver burnout. We are a community of compassion, understanding and inclusion. We are the community that comes alongside caregivers on their journey to offer encouragement, grace and strength. We live out our values with love, hope and joy. We are always excited to welcome new families to our community and we encourage you to engage with all of the programs that feel right for you!
Through Respite: Our respite weekends encourage couples and single parents to take a breath and pour into themselves. This restorative time, helps caregivers to develop stronger relationships, families and communities.
Through Community: David's Refuge hosts a variety of events throughout the year, both virtually and in person. Event types vary and range from ones for the whole family to just caregivers and everything in between. Caregivers can connect with the David's Refuge community through a variety of social media channels, including a private Facebook page.
