Other Clothing

Due to very limited storage space, we ask you to make any other clothing donations directly to Community Pathways, Inc.  Each guest who comes to Hospitality House receives a voucher to go to Community Pathways to select his own needed apparel. This is a dignified process that encourages responsibility and good choices.
 

Other Needs

We continually maintain and improve the house and need materials or donations for those projects.  Upcoming projects include:

• Building a retaining wall

• Adding a privacy fence

• Adding landscaping
