“Change can only happen when we build a movement “Change can only happen when we build a movement that is accountable to and invests in our people." Today we celebrate the birthday of our longtime friend, Board Member, and former Hospitality House staff, Paul Boden! Paul Boden, Executive Director of Western Region Advocacy has a long history with Hospitality House. 38 years ago today, on Paul's 24th birthday, he received his first Hospitality House paycheck along with a Certificate of Appreciation for nine months of serving as a dedicated volunteer in our programs (see picture). It was during Paul's early years at the House that he met Joe Wilson-- our Executive Director who was a Hospitality House shelter resident at the time. "When your Executive Director first meets you because he slept in your shelter... that's not token hire shit, that is simply recognizing the heart, brilliance, and skill in your community. For nearly 55 years, Hospitality House has faithfully honored and reflected the humanity and dignity of unhoused and poor San Franciscans. For my 62nd birthday I am wishing for everyone who sees this message to take a minute and kick down a couple of bucks, a gift, or just send them some love to help sustain this vital work!" - Paul Boden Donate: https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MTI0MzM0 Read More: https://www.hospitalityhouse.org/boden.html
