CREATING KINDNESS
ONE BLANKET AT A TIME
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift for the mom who has everything or for a way to honor the memory of a special mother, we suggest donating a blanket to the Hospitality Hub’s drive. Mothers made our childhood homes warm and cozy, and it seems that paying that kindness forward would be an ideal gift or tribute.
The Hospitality Hub has served as the region’s single point of entry for homeless individuals since 2007. The Hub meets people “where they are” and assesses their individual needs, connecting them with stabilizing resources. Staff members leverage the organization’s extensive community partnerships and internal programs to provide shelter, benefits, identification and case management.
The Hub is thrilled to be opening a Hub Campus at 590 Washington Ave. later this year. This new development will allow the group to greatly expand services, provide a Day Plaza for the community and open the region’s first barrierfree, trauma-informed women’s shelter.
With women comprising 37 percent of the city’s homeless population, and only six percent of the available beds open to women, the Hub’s team has struggled for years to find shelter for women. The new shelter is designed to facilitate healing from trauma and introduce immediate stability to unsheltered lives.
Barrier-free shelters operate on the premise that homelessness is not an individual choice or attributed to personal disposition. Rather, it is the result of a mix of economic, structural and societal factors that affect society’s most vulnerable. In order to promote safety and healing, the shelter will have a Quiet Room, a Family Room, a Salon, a large outdoor space and several places to be alone.
Each woman and child entering the shelter will have the opportunity to choose a throw blanket upon entry, immediately giving them something warm and cozy to call their own. To meet the Hub’s goal of gathering 150 blankets before opening, Fish and Associates Financial Services is holding a blanket drive through May 20.
Two local boutiques, Cotton Row Uniques, at 4615 Poplar Ave, Unit 3, and Diane’s Art Gift & Home, at 1581 Overton Park Ave., have stocked blankets especially for this drive.
Donations can be dropped off at Fish and Associates, 633 Oakleaf Office Lane, weekdays until May 20. Contact Xanthe Mumm-Saucier at 901.767.0668 with questions.
