Community Services/Non-Profits in Broomfield, CO

“I can’t express the importance of this place. So many people like myself have or are experiencing homelessness. Unfortunately sometimes treated like the scum of the earth. Often times humans overlooked as passer byers walk on by. Homelessness bares the weight of failure, mental illness, emotional distress, loneliness, strayed, drug abuse, fear, sadness in so many complex layers. I wish people would understand that homelessness is one step away for anyone. One job lost. One broke down car. One family feud. One chemical imbalance. One broken heart away. There’s a lack of places like The Refuge. Somewhere where frequently unseen unnoticed invisible people can feel normal again. Deserving of a hot plate, a hot shower, somewhere to rest, companionship, resources, acknowledgment, greeting smiles, guidance, friendship and reminders of keeping your chin up because you deserve that. You deserve it all. I want to personally thank everyone at the Refuge. You help change direction and you help change lives and I am eternally grateful for all of you.”

“Amazing place!!!!! I got to shop for all my family. They are super nice and so helpful. You need a referral to shop here. They let us get 10 tops, 4 pants, 2 pairs of shoes for each of us …They let me get 5 toys for each of my kids. I have 3 kids in diapers and they let you get diapers and they give you wipes. They also let you get more stuff but i can’t remember exactly. Words can’t describe how blessed i feel. Thank you so so much we will be back in 6 months?”

“Got so much food for me and my kids. Was fairly quick to. I made an appointment and trust me it’s worth it. You have to make a profile and sign up for a appointment time or you can do walk ins on certain days go to website to find that info but I’m glad I made the appointment instead of walk in. Also went thru the thrift store got some clothes for all of us and we made Easter baskets kids was so happy to get that candy and toys I just let them go crazy when we got home lol we literally didn’t even eat breakfast because we had no food but God made a way thru Joyful Journey food pantry thank you! I’ll be forever grateful. Got allot of pull ups and a pack of wipes as well!”

“So much marked improvement. Other than the clothes racks needing attention being so very crammed and some workers on the floor with earbuds, gives the vibe of disengagement.... the store has more organization, and the checkout is quick and friendly. I have found many treasures and stroll through weekly.”
