MEET OUR GUESTS

Who are our guests?
Our guests come from all different walks of life: we have men, women and children, babies and toddlers, veterans and disabled people, elderly and people dealing with challenges. All of them have found a safe, welcoming place to spend the night and have a warm dinner. The shelter is hosted by a different church every night (for a list of these invaluable partners, please go to the Thank You page).


After dinner, guests and volunteers play games, listen to music or chat. Some guests choose to read or go straight to bed.

Dinners are provided by a different faith community every night (for a list of these excellent partners, please visit the Thank You page).



Guest: "What I like now, is when I see someone out there, I can tell them, 'You don't have to sleep outside tonight, you can go to Hospitality House'. And then I see them coming through the front door at the Welcome Center, and all the stress and the frost melt from their faces."

WHO ARE THE HOMELESS?

They are people challenged by illness or injury, or both;

by trauma of childhood or war, or both;

by their own imperfect choices or those of others, or both.

Or all of the above.

Or they are the children of those people.

Hospitality house offers a warm welcome, nourishing meals,

access to medical and social services,

and a peaceful night's rest to

the homeless in western Nevada County.
