"Empowering Communities, Enriching Lives: Volunteer with the Community Refuge Project"

 The “Community Refuge Project” by We The Revolt operates as a dynamic volunteer hub, focusing on mobilizing and deploying vetted volunteers to various partner locations dedicated to serving the homeless, providing disaster relief, engaging in community clean-up and beautification projects, and supporting food banks. Our initiative is active in our major hub cities, including Miami, Broward, Hillsborough-Pinellas, Houston, Dallas, Cook County, D.C., and Atlanta, where we strive to meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable populations while enhancing the overall community environment.
