We have raised $12,045,514.00 of our $35,000,000.00  goal.

Join us in Building Safety and Hope for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in our community. We are building a comprehensive campus that will house an emergency shelter, victim services center, and units of transitional housing apartments to provide wrap-around services for survivors and their children. The Refuge Utah has purchased 4.09 acres of land in Orem near State Street and 800 North for its new campus. 

This expanded campus is necessary to fill the needs of survivors in our community. Last year, we had 451 requests for shelter that we could not fulfill due to a lack of space. With only 25 beds currently, the new facility will have space for up to 138 beds, ensuring we will have capacity to support all survivors who reach out to us. Together, we can make safety and hope available to all who need a safe space from abuse for themselves and their children. 

In order to make this campus a reality, we need your help. Click below to learn more about this capital campaign and how you can be involved.

  • A survivor of domestic violence

    I am very grateful for the help from The Refuge Utah and think more women would reach out if they knew of the available resources. It’s freeing to know, that just like many woman before me, I can do this.
