Hospitality House is a shelter for homeless women, a safe haven where those with nowhere to turn can find warm, dry shelter and healthy, nourishing food. Each year we graduate approximately 80 women from a comprehensive, 90-day program designed to help residents find employment, improve their life skills and secure a safe, affordable place to call home.

How are your donated dollars spent?

  • $25 registration fee will stock the refrigerator of Hospitality House with sandwich-makings for one day.
  • $75 pays for one night of shelter.
  • $250 sponsorship pays the monthly phone bill.
  • $500 sees a resident through a two-week stay.
  • $2,000 sponsors a resident for the entire 12-week program, preparing her for a secure and stable life.

How many have been helped?
Since Hospitality House opened its doors in 2000, nearly 1,000 women ages 18 to 80 have benefitted from our
services.
