Wear green so everyone knows you’re with Hospitality House! This event will take place rain or shine, so be sure to dress weather appropriate and stay comfortable.
Well behaved pets are welcome! We’d love you to bring your furry friend on a leash, and we’ll have water for them along the way.
Refreshments will be offered at the midpoint to keep you hydrated and energized, but of course we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle.
Can’t make it to the walk? Walk from home and share why YOU walk on social media! Don’t forget to tag us!
One night a year, when we gather for the Spring Fling, the light of the Hospitality House family is magnified. It is undeniable. The night is illuminated by your kindness and generosity. It is a night we love to share with you!
We wanted nothing more than to set a new date for the Spring Fling. We wanted to celebrate 20 years of helping homeless women find home, health and hope with the very people who made it possible.
It has become evident, that we simply can’t come together. When everything is uncertain, everything that is important becomes clear. As family, we want to keep you safe – you are too important to risk.With the Spring Fling being our largest fundraiser of the year, bringing in over $50,000 annually – we will still need your help to keep our doors open during this critical time.
We will be having an online auction April 2- April 5, 2020. I hope you will join us for Spring Fling 2020: 4 Days of Virtual Giving.
All of our auction items will be available online to purchase and you will be able to Fund-The-Future by making a donation. We will also be filming parts of the Spring Fling program to share with you – including our client speaker!
We will post additional details soon. However, if you’d like to take a sneak peek of our auction catalog – just click the link: https://www.auctria.com/auction/hhspringfling2020online
You cannot start bidding yet, but you can start perusing and planning!
Our online event does not require a ticket. We hope you will use this as an opportunity to invite more of your circle into the Hospitality House family. Please feel free to share our auction link via email or on your social media platforms.
Since we are not able to hold the event, I am offering ticket refunds for the next 30 days by request. If you are able, I humbly ask you consider making your ticket purchase a donation to the House.
We know everything is uncertain but it is clear you feel the women we serve are important. Please continue to light their path with your generosity –they need you, to be safe.
We love our community, want everyone to be safe, and in keeping with recommendations by King County Public Health, the Hospitality House Board of Directors has made the decision to postpone the Spring Fling Fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, March 7.
Our new date will be announced soon and tickets will be automatically transferred. We look forward to celebrating our 20th anniversary when it is safe for everyone take part. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the needs of the greater community and will be in touch soon with more information.
Artist Davie Ross being introduced by Hospitality House Staff Elizabeth Campbell
This month Hospitality House had the pleasure and honor to host an Open House at our shelter to celebrate, reflect and dream up new ways for us to continually stand in the gap, advocating and giving agency to all homeless women that walk through our doors.
The open house was a wonderful time of delicious food, remembering and honoring the history and legacy of Hospitality House, and celebrating 20 incredible years Hospitality House and our partners have remained faithful and devoted to helping homeless women access basic needs such as a bed, shelter, food, shower, and a laundry facility. Providing these basic needs coupled with wrap-around support to give each Resident the appropriate rest, space and capacity to start envisioning the life she wants, is all part of our strategy in assisting each client toward reaching her personal goals and stability.
The Open House was a powerful time to be together. Especially, to see the amazing talents of local artist and muralist, Davie Ross. Davie presented her gorgeous mural painted in the courtyard, that is a shared space by the Residents of Hospitality House and the children of the Lake Burien Presbyterian Church’s After School Program. This beautiful mural of a woman embracing a child can symbolize many things to the eye of the beholder – life flourishing, female strength, nurturement, rest, love and an overwhelming sense of hope. Between Davie’s mural and the showcase of her second works a convicting progression piece, displaying the very raw reality of what it is like to be displaced from home, one could not deny the feeling and sense for a call to action.
Esperanza
We are beyond thankful for all who attended our Open House – Volunteers, Donors, Board Members, Friends and especially our distinguished guests: King County Superior Court Judge Marshal Fergauson; and Des Moines City Council Members Traci Buxton, Luisa Bangs and Robert K. Back. This day could not be possible or as meaningful without all of you.
As Davie’s progression piece reminded us all – There is still much work to be done. While we continue to work covering every woman who comes to Hospitality House seeking hope, health and home – we hope you too will continue to be there right beside us, standing in the gap.
