Overview

Mission

Warrior's refuge is a grassroots ministry focusing on the forgotten; men, women, children, and families that have fallen through the cracks. Offering more than a hand-out, we give a hand-up. Warrior's is a place of hope and believe it is by this that broken pieces are assembled together again. From job assistance for the unemployed to housing for those living in homelessness, warrior's refuge serves a variety of needs in our community. Providing food, formula, clothing, and household goods to transportation, identification cards and recovery resources the heartbeat of warrior's is assisting those in difficult times to know they are seen, heard, and cared for. Warrior's is part of an ever growing network, working hand-in-hand with the city of tulsa, local churches, non-profits, charities, and individuals to widen our ability to reach those we serve.
