On April 30, more than 55 artists recently donated their work for a very special fundraising event at Center for the Arts to benefit Hospitality House. Art for the Heart, a concept created by local artists Eileen Blodgett and LeeAnn Brook, began last winter as an invitation to our area artists to support Hospitality House. ![]()

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT The Hospitality House Board of Directors and Staff opened our third shelter season on Monday October 15. Following is a report as of February, 2008. We have had 140 different guest this season so far - two families, one with two children, one with four. We've had 4000 bed nights with 25 to 39 people per night.Referrals Made: We expect to make 30 referrals per week or approximately 1560 during the year. You might ask why do we keep statistics and make estimates of program participants? The answer is relatively simple – numbers prove need in a concrete way. They also tell our supporters that we are serious about sheltering our community’s homeless. Finally they tell the entire community how much effort it takes to make Hospitality House a reality.
If you want to make a difference in our community this winter – please consider volunteering with Hospitality House. Leave a voicemail and call back number at 271-7144 stating that you wish to attend the next volunteer training session. To make a financial donation please mail a check to Hospitality House, P.O.
