Year-End Updates, Appreciation & Next Steps

So many people have been incredibly generous with their finances this year, and we are truly thankful.

Thank you to our anonymous $10,000 donor!!

We have been in full-swing event planning while also working to free up our time so we can meet our goals for the coming year - program development, establishing initial self-sustainability plans, legal groundwork, team building, fundraising, and more. It has been a bit crazy in the Gipe home (meetings upon meetings!), but we are having so much fun and feel incredibly blessed by everyone’s prayers, donations, and support.

With Human Trafficking Awareness Month beginning January 1, we felt it was the perfect time to kick off the year with our official launch party. Details below!

Join us for our Launch Party! 

Saturday, January 24th 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM
Old City Hall Arts Center
1313 Market St, Redding, CA 96001

Merry Christmas!

Thank you for all your support in these early stages of Cedar Refuge. We hope you have a joyful Christmas and a wonderful holiday season - we look forward to seeing you in the new year!
