We received a very generous donation of backpacks from Hilary at Lighthouse of Hopeful Hearts 2 to distribute to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. They are packed with many useful items to make the days more comfortable. Hilary's mission is clear, and we are so thankful that she included our community in her heartfelt, thoughtful project!

Thank you, Hilary! 🥰

Paul Royce, known by "Turtle", helped people for years. Friends say: "His idea of a good life was to give" and "He saved a lot of people." He loved music and volunteered regularly at the Hospitality House Night of Giving event. Turtle's estate gift to Hospitality House means his legacy of helping people continues.
