🍂 We’re getting ahead of winter… and we could use your help! ❄️

While everyone is still enjoying summer, our team is preparing for the colder months ahead.
Every year, as temperatures begin to fall, the number of people seeking shelter and basic necessities increases dramatically. We never want to be in a position where someone walks through our doors and we don’t have what they need.
If you’ve ever wanted to help Open Doors but weren’t sure how, this is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to make a difference.
🛒 Our Amazon Wishlist allows supplies to be shipped directly to us, making it simple to help provide comfort, dignity, and hope to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Some of our biggest needs include:
🧦 Socks
🩲 Underwear
🧴 Hygiene products
🛏️ Bedding
🧻 Paper products
🧼 Cleaning supplies
🥶 Cold-weather essentials

❤️ If you’re unable to purchase items, sharing this post helps us reach someone who can.

We officially launched our new page for The Hostel KC! This project was created with the same heart behind Open Doors, building community, creating opportunity, and finding creative ways to sustain and expand our mission.

We’d love for our Open Doors family to go give the page a follow, share it, and support this next chapter with us

Local Hostel powered by Open Doors Foundation. All revenue goes directly to sustaining programs and services for the community.

We’ve been quiet for a while, because we’ve been busy working on a few projects.

As non-profit service providers, it’s our duty to get creative with fundraising to ensure we can sustain our programs and services. Welcome to the Hostel KC. The revenue generated by guests staying at the hostel during the World Cup will ensure Open Doors Foundation can sustain and expand programs within our low barrier shelter.

At the conclusion of the World Cup, this will become the home for all things Open Doors.
