Refuge Coffee Co.

resettles 2,500 refugees in Clarkston, GA, a little city on the edge of Atlanta that TIME magazine called "the most diverse square mile in the country." From over 145 countries, survivors of war and famine arrive right here in Atlanta's backyard. And it is a struggle from day one to create a home here. Refuge Coffee's goal is to provide a safe place to anchor Clarkston's refugee community. Because jobs are such a huge need, we're starting with a Refuge Coffee Truck to create our first refugee job and begin our job training program. Ultimately, our dream is to build a Coffee Shop in the heart of Clarkston that reflects the true heart of our city, a veritable mash-up of Asian/African/Arabic/American cultures. We will not only train resettled refugees here; we’ll create a place for these unique cultures to tell their stories and share their lives. For a brief glimpse into the city of Clarkston, feel free to check out this short PBS Documentary from 2012. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/video/need-to-know-september-21-2012-america-by-the-numbers/14907/

That's a wrap on the Refuge Coffee Run for another year, but fall's just getting started and we're not mad about it.

Cooler mornings call for warmer cups, and the same good people are still back there making them. Come spend a slow piece of your weekend with us. We saved you a seat.

Nutty black sesame meets warm vanilla and creamy steamed milk for a cozy hot or iced latte.

Autumn Soother
A soothing blend of turmeric ginger tea and honey topped with creamy steamed milk and cinnamon.

Missing Pumpkin Spice? It's ok. Just ask.

Tomorrow, we do it all again.

Taking it back to last year's Refuge Run, all the color, the finish line hugs, the kids covered head to toe, the coffee after. This is what Saturday has in store.

The Refuge Run is tomorrow, September 19. Check your start time, sort your parking, and come ready to celebrate welcome with us.

Not registered? It's not too late! See you in the morning.

Look who's joining us.
Welcome Miles Brewski, our very own Refuge Run mascot, getting inflated and ready for his big debut. He'll be hanging around all morning September 19, cheering on every runner, walker, and color-covered kid.
Come say hi to Miles at the race! Haven't signed up yet? Link in bio.

Race day is almost here! Here's how to show up ready!

Swipe through for three things to sort before Saturday, September 19:
1. Pick up your packet. Grab it early so you're not scrambling race morning. All the pickup details are here.
2. Know your times. The 5K, 1K, and color run each start at different times, so check when yours goes off.
3. Know your parking. It's a little tricky around Clarkston, so we mapped it out for you.

Save this post so it's handy on race day. Not signed up yet? Link in bio. See you Saturday.

The Refuge Run needs you, and our biggest need is Friday night. 🙌

No experience needed, just bring your energy and a friend if you've got one. Every hour you give supports job training and paid work for refugees and other immigrants.

Sign up to volunteer at the link in bio or at https://x.gldn.io/e/AfSJF94r35b. We'd love to have you.

Every Refuge Run gets a theme and this year's is Welcome Home.

Steph, our community engagement lead, asked our baristas and staff a simple question: what do you think of when you think of home? A few answers stuck with us.

Karla: her grandparents' village, lime tea, and fresh bread on a tropical morning.

Nafisa: peace, my family, and the mountains.

Mohammad: the family that lights up a home and makes it whole.

When you register, you get to add where you call home. Our community already spans 40+ countries and 18 states. Join us September 19. Run, volunteer, or shop our Amazon list. Link in bio.

We say "more than good coffee" a lot but THIS is what it looks like.
Behind every cup is a team of baristas building careers, learning new skills, and finding welcome. When you order from Refuge, your coffee supports job training and paid work for refugees and other immigrants right here in our community. Good coffee is the beginning but the welcome is the heart of it! See you soon in one of our four locations: Clarkston, Decatur, Midtown, Norcross.
