• Site Visit 1 City of Refuge — City of Refuge is a 501(c)3 nonpartisan nonprofit that exists to serve and empower over 1,600 refugees a year via relational Care, Education, and Development. The community has become intricately involved with refugees by attending City of Refuge’s annual events, providing 320 weekly-volunteers, and opening their arms to donate time/talent/and treasure to the cause. At this site visit, you will get a tour of the facilities and see first-hand how City of Refuge meets its mission via its programming, including its resale shop ‘City Boutique’, cross-cultural preschool ‘City Preschool’, and more!  NOTE: Transportation is on your own to 10 N Garth Ave, Columbia, MO 65203 — just 0.6 miles from Tiger Hotel.

At The Market, families make choices that fit their dietary needs and household preferences. Beyond groceries, The Market brings together local partners and visiting services that address broader community needs: from healthcare offered on site by Compass Health to nutrition education offered in our demonstration kitchen to resource navigation for utilities, transportation and other support. During the visit you’ll see how our model is designed to promote long-term food security, community connection and equitable access to nutrition. You’ll also have a chance to observe how we operate, from the welcoming, grocery-store–style layout to the environment that helps every guest feel empowered. Transportation provided by van.
