Review for Hospitality House of Northwest North Carolina, Boone, NC, USA
I am proud to be a recent addition to the Board of Directors of Hospitality House, serving since January 1, 2020. After my retirement three years ago and my move to Northwest NC, I took my time in looking for a non-profit to which I could voluntarily contribute my years of experience working in the non-profit world. My experience has been in the area of small local and regional non-profits providing programs and services to those in crisis. I looked for excellence, compassion and kindness, integrity, and fiscal responsibility--I found all of that in Hospitality House. The philosophy of service within this organization is centered in Respect and Kindness. Respect and Kindness is extended through the design of the programs and services provided to people with food and shelter insecurity and through the daily interactions of staff and volunteers with the residents and clients of the programs, as well as through the interactions of staff and volunteers with each other and with the public. Hospitality House is responsive and adaptive to the needs of the communities and people they serve. This responsiveness, together with the respect and kindness inherent in all they do, has made this an organization of excellence.
