History of ReFuel Refuel Washougal is a community-supported weekly free meal that demonstrates Washougal’s commitment to residents who are experiencing hard times. The mission of Refuel Washougal is this: “To comfort our community by providing a warm meal to those in need.” Since Jan. 2, 2015, churches, schools, community groups and individuals have provided a meal and fellowship in a welcoming setting. About 50 people attend each Friday, including people experiencing homelessness, teenagers, families, seniors and others who may be hungry, isolated or lonely. ReFuel Washougal volunteers supplement the meal with blankets, sack lunches, community resource information and “HUGS” (hats, underwear, gloves, socks/scarves). The food, clothing and resource information are gratefully received by guests. They also appreciate the extraordinary spirit that characterizes Refuel Washougal: after preparing and serving the meal, the volunteers sit down and eat with the guests, engage in friendly conversation, and show that they care. Refuel Washougal grew from community conversations about strategies for assisting Washougal residents who were struggling. Friends of Excelsior High School, the Washougal Lions Club and Mayor Sean Guard were involved in early discussions that resulted in a blanket drive. Dozens of people, churches and organizations made the blanket drive an immediate success, and the community-wide mobilization demonstrated Washougal’s deep generosity when presented with an actionable request. As the plan for weekly meals took shape, Washougal took action. Excelsior High School hosted a soup dinner fundraiser for kitchen supplies; the school district distributed information; Girl Scouts provided cookies and decorated the dining area for Valentine’s Day; churches supplied volunteers and food; individuals and nonprofits stepped up with a range of supports; and a core group met regularly to work out efficient systems and to share equipment and other resources. In the winter of 2017-2018, ReFuel expanded its reach to help those living on the streets by opening a Severe Weather Shelter hosted by St. Matthews Church. In 2018-2019, the Washougal Community Center became the home of the Severe Weather Shelter, providing a clean, dry place to sleep during inclement weather; housing 4-11 homeless citizens a night. The shelter is fully staffed by volunteers who provide a warm evening meal and a hearty breakfast. A grant from the Camas-Washougal Community Chest provided much needed funding for the shelter. Refuel Washougal is an ongoing program. It has been nominated for several awards such as the Nonprofit Network of Southwest Washington’s Excellence in Collaboration Award, based on partnerships among churches, schools, government, service clubs, nonprofits and individuals. Most recently ReFuel Washougal and the City of Washougal were recognized by the Clark County Juvenile Court for its collaborative partnership with the Restorative Community Service Program.

Guest Testimonials “We love you. Volunteers are wonderful. Couldn't make it without you. Lots of people dependent on you.” “Good, great, and very welcomed.” “It's great! Helps save on money. I can't wait until we can all get together again. It's a wonderful time to get together and socialize.” “Gives me a chance to see other people I might not be able to see, and the meal is always appreciated – thanks!” “Very helpful when getting home and there are meals for my husband and I. I also love to help out - thank you!” “I'm a homeless disabled senior. ReFuel provides: 1. One of a very few free resources, in our community, to look forward to. 2. A place of respite to relax out of the heat/cold. 3. Friendly/kind organizations that sponsor the meal, who always treat all who come as equals. 4. A balanced hot meal to enjoy after eating nothing but cold food all week. 5. Socialization with various members of our community, whether we're inside or standing in line. I have met, and added, amazing friends into my inner circle! I made a point of thanking all the volunteers at the end of my meal. This is a Huge THANK YOU!! to all who are behind the scenes that we don't see.”
