NEIGHBORHOOD HOSPITALITY

One service Patchwork provides to our neighbors is simply our presence in the neighborhood. We call it Neighborhood Hospitality. Our building and main office are open Monday-Thursday and all are welcome to come in for a cup of coffee, a quiet place to sit, the use of a phone, bread or fresh produce, showers, referrals to other agencies better equipped to assist the individual, or any number of small services. Sometimes this hospitality is simply having a staff member able to lend a respectful listening ear to hear our neighbors’ frustrations, anger, or celebrations.

We are happy to receive special donations to help us provide a warm and welcoming place for our guests. Helpful items include:

  • Travel size shower supplies (especially soap and shampoo)
  • Deodorant
  • Razors (preferably at least double blade)
  • Coffee, creamer, and sugar

We also provide building space for other groups and organizations who, like us, are working to build a better, stronger community.
