A lot of the work they do for the homeless is made possible through federal grants, but Robinson says Hospitality House is in danger of loosing some of it’s major funding next year because of a change on emphasis by the Federal Government.

To help bridge the funding gap Hospitality House is working on opening a Thrift store, called the Bread and Roses Thrift and More, and  will be announcing a grand opening soon.
They  also have launched an Indigogo Campaign  to raise start up funds for the thrift store. Details  of that are at their website     www.HHShelter.org.
