Columbia, Missouri is home to hundreds of Ukrainian refugees who have been displaced from their home countries. In most cases, these refugees arrive in their new home without any possessions. The City of Refuge, a non-profit organization created to help refugees and immigrants recover and regain control of their lives, is a source of daily necessities for many of these refugee families.
The Village at Bedford Walk, a luxury senior living community, has an active group of residents that supports local charities in Columbia, Missouri. The group, called The Bedford Big Hearts, donates items and money to a new organization each month, and even spends some time volunteering if they can. The program has already done some amazing work for charities like First Chance for Children, where residents donated over 1,000 diapers for kids in need. As you can see, the participation and spirits are high among residents as they work to make a difference in the Columbia community.
Ashton Village, a Fairway Management family community located in Pevely, Missouri, recently celebrated the grand opening of the Care Closet.

Residents can visit the closet to pick up basic necessities completely free of charge at any time of day, making these products much more accessible. As you can see, the closet is fully stocked with anything and everything the residents might need!
