The Refuge Network is a multi-community organization whose primary purpose is to provide supportive services for people who are currently involved or have been involved in an abusive relationship. The Refuge Network believes that no one deserves to be abused and therefore seeks to bring an end to domestic violence.
Our History
Since 1986, The Refuge Network’s mission has been to help bring an end to domestic violence by providing supportive, non-judgmental services. And today we continue to hold the belief that no one deserves to be abused.
The Refuge Network opened our New Shelter in February, 2009
Black Dog Hill is now able to provide safety and shelter for up to 15 women and children recovering from domestic and family violence situations. Opening a shelter is a huge undertaking, one which we could not do alone. Although, organizations such as the United Way, the Mardag Foundation, WCA-Pillsbury and the Otto Bremer Foundation have shown us amazing support we still need your help for the ongoing expenses of our shelter and office operations.
