SERVE WITH US

Spirit of Refuge began the way it still serves today: with people who chose to show up. We prepare and deliver meals to encampments, carry supplies to families in crisis, and stand beside neighbors who have been overlooked for far too long.

Across the Pine Belt, the Jackson Metro, and the Gulf Coast, and on into Louisiana and Alabama, we bring tangible relief and dignified support to people at their most vulnerable. Every act of service offers provision without humiliation and help without compromise.

No special experience is required, only a willing heart.

Whether you can give a single afternoon or serve at every outreach, there is a place for you here.

Come serve with us, and help reveal the heart of God through intentional service, one person, one family, and one community at a time.

What does an outreach look like?

During an outreach, you’ll serve alongside experienced team members. Depending on the day, you may help prepare and package meals, load supplies, or travel with the team to the encampments Spirit of Refuge serves to share meals and spend time with the people there. After you sign up, our team will send you the meeting location and start time.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and closed-toe shoes. Much of the work happens outdoors, so dress for the weather, with a hat and sunscreen on warm days.

Is there a minimum age?

Volunteers 18 and older may serve on their own. Younger volunteers are welcome when a parent or guardian serves alongside them.

Will I have to sign anything?

Before your outreach, you’ll sign Spirit of Refuge’s volunteer agreements, including a confidentiality agreement that protects the privacy and dignity of the people we serve. Our team will walk you through each one.
