The House of Refuge Ministries, Incorporated, exists to meet the needs of homeless men in the Morganton area to help end homelessness in Burke County. As a faith-driven outreach, we strive to restore men to hopeful, productive, independent, and healthy living through compassion, dignity, and excellence. While our priority is to provide safe housing, holistic personal care, and material support to those in need, we are also committed to advocacy and awareness in our community for the benefit and well-being of all citizens.
Our Mission Statement
The House of Refuge Ministries, Inc., is honored to serve as the Morganton areas’ only private faith-based, non-denominational emergency mass shelter for homeless men, eighteen years of age and up. Our daily goal is to provide basic housing and material support to men who have become homeless, and restore them to a healthier lifestyle. Additionally, we designate a portion of shelter beds to men who qualify for transitional housing.
