This is one of our favorite weeks of the year, when we pause to celebrate bounty and give thanks. At the Mesa Refuge, we celebrate you: our remarkable alums and our growing, supportive community. We have been in the midst of construction all fall, with the goal of welcoming you back early in 2022. It was a great day when they installed our new front door, a symbol of where we welcome new residents and old friends. In this short video, our executive director, Susan Page Tillett, offers a small glimpse of what is happening at the Mesa Refuge.

We know this is a big week for you, your friends, and your family. The good news is that you can take care of your #GivingTuesday donation to the Mesa Refuge before you stuff the turkey or suffer buyers’ remorse for a Black Friday purchase!

Your participation helps spread the word and raise needed funds so that writers and change makers can enjoy the Mesa Refuge’s beauty for years to come. Will you help us reach our #GivingTuesday goal of $25,000?
