Environmental Hospitality (EH) is one of Northwest Hospitality’s most successful and appreciated programs. In 2019, we coordinated over 100 volunteers and picked up over 23,000 pounds of litter. In 2020, interest hasn’t waned even in the face of COVID-19 but we’re only at 2,000 lbs this year thanks to the decrease in events.

Read MoreEach year, during our fundraising benefit, we invite local musicians to perform and this year is no different! We will have Nick Droz and The Sky Colony Duo joining us this time around and we couldn’t be more excited! Each group has their own mellow, acoustic sound with hints of rock, psychedelic, and pop in the mix.
Read MoreAs a society, we could choose to provide the resources to get people sheltered. Instead, it has been our choice to treat a lifetime of mistakes, or just one big one, as a life sentence to misery and isolation. We should not be placing additional burdens between people and a safe place to call home while they work out their issues.

Read MoreWe have an incredible, growing community and my goal with this new category of posts is to encourage an incremental increase in the types and frequency of outreach. I’d like to harness the power of our numbers by posting an “assignment” once per month. I invite everybody who reads this to share it around, try to complete the assignment, and, if called to do so, write about your experience in the comments section.
