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.”
