Environmental Hospitality (EH) is one of Northwest Hospitality’s most successful and appreciated programs. In 2019, we coordinated over 100 volunteers and picked up over 23,000 pounds of litter. In 2020, interest hasn’t waned even in the face of COVID-19 but we’re only at 2,000 lbs this year thanks to the decrease in events.

While I was out with our fantastic volunteers cleaning up encampment litter at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Port Orchard on June 27th, I received an email asking me to stop because what we are doing is “ruining Kitsap.” It’s not the first time I’ve received similar messages, not by a long shot, so I thought it would be prudent for me to put our response on the record.

2019 was a blast and here we review everything we accomplished together. Thank you for your support, we’re already doing great things in 2020 and can’t do any of it without you!

Sequim’s Olympic Ambulance teamed up with Northwest Hospitality to help a patient stay in their home, removing 4,800 pounds of trash to the dump so the patient can go on to receive home healthcare and other services required by their current circumstances.

It has been WILD here at NWH lately

A little over 1 year ago, I shared an update about our resource database and it’s only gotten more awesome and way more useful since then. View our list of resources here!

Each year, during our fundraising benefit, we invite local musicians to perform and this year is no different! We will have Nick Droz and The Sky Colony Duo joining us this time around and we couldn’t be more excited! Each group has their own mellow, acoustic sound with hints of rock, psychedelic, and pop in the mix. 

As a society, we could choose to provide the resources to get people sheltered. Instead, it has been our choice to treat a lifetime of mistakes, or just one big one, as a life sentence to misery and isolation. We should not be placing additional burdens between people and a safe place to call home while they work out their issues.
