Hospitality Room Wish List
One of the most important aspects of the North City Photo ID Project is creating an environment where all people are welcomed warmly, treated with patience and compassion, and leave feeling loved and cared for in the short time they are with us.
We live these values in our Hospitality Room.
This is a self-service, semi-private area where guests can take what they need without judgement.
We offer drinks, snacks, seasonally appropriate supplies, and resources for additional services in the area that provide potential avenues for support in a variety of ways.
Over 40% of the people we serve through the North City Photo ID Project are unhoused or experiencing some type of housing instability. We've heard from several people that the snacks they enjoy while they're with us are sometimes the only food they'll eat that day.
Ways to support our Hospitality Room:
Please note: All items must be individually packaged, items can be ordered online and shipped, or delivered in person.
Stock the hospitality room with supplies from our Amazon Wish List!
Please feel free to pick items from the list, add new ones, or find something similar (including things from places that are not Amazon, especially if you share our concerns about Amazon's despicable treatment of their employees and their harmful role in criminalizing immigrants).
Sponsor the room for a week or a month! We can give you a shopping list and estimated budget, and you do the rest. Just send us an email and we'll get you started!
Start a recurring donation to cover the cost of some of the items we use frequently, like coffee, tea, fruit, and snacks. Any amount is helpful and appreciated!
Make a one-time contribution of an amount that is meaningful to you that can fund this effort.
