We Practice Radical Hospitality

We transform our city, our institutions, and ourselves when we embrace the individual needs of our most vulnerable sisters and brothers.

Every person will be seen, recognized and restored. We will all be well fed in every aspect of life, and we will be made whole – even for just a few pure and powerful moments. The simplest acts of kindness can soothe the afflicted and transform the fortunate.

There is always a seat at our table; there is enough for everyone. To those who have more than they need, we invite partnership and contribution. For those who are turned away elsewhere, our doors are wide and welcoming. In fact, our doors are open to all of our neighbors. On those who live in the shadows of solitude, we shower the sunlight of community. And to you, we extend an invitation to join us at our tables and help turn on the light.
