Refuge of Hope’s new Women’s Shelter will be far more than a place to sleep. Opening Late 2026.

It will be a safe, sober support center where homeless women can address the personal, economic, and societal challenges that led to their situation. Here, they will receive meals, showers, laundry services, and Christ-centered encouragement at no cost, all within a caring environment in Stark County.

Our staff and volunteers are committed to helping each woman rebuild her life with dignity, hope, and spiritual guidance. We want every guest to experience the love of Jesus Christ and gain the stability needed to become independent and a positive contributor to our community.

 Services Provided:

  • Nutritious meals and fellowship
  • Clean bedding and safe overnight accommodation
  • Hot showers and access to laundry facilities
  • Clothing and hygiene items to choose from
  • Medical care
