City of Refuge is a faith-based organization, a registered 501(c)3, that helps individuals and families transition out of crisis.

For 20 years, we have been committed to developing programs centered on intentional assistance and meaningful relationships that are accessible to all people in the Baltimore area, no matter the stage of life or their background.

Our Core Values

Passion

We work with energy and excitement toward fulfilling our mission and seeing lives changed for the good. We deeply love our community, considering it a great honor and responsibility to care in any way we can in all seasons. We remain attentive and faithful to the work.

Excellence

We refuse to cut corners. Instead, with great attention to detail, we serve our community to the best of our ability. In order to do the most good, we must remain dedicated and faithful to the tasks at hand. Every task and every conversation shall be treated as the most important part of the day—because it is.

Dignity

We seek to meet people in whatever stage of life, from whatever background, and walk with them in intentional relationships. We know that as we have the privilege to serve, we also have much we can learn as a part of the whole community.

Integrity

We value diversity within our board, staff, and volunteers to bring in ideas and experiences from different individuals. We encourage an open dialogue regarding inequalities within our communities and nation. We must live and work in an honest and open manner.
