    Description

    We need a group to do some deep cleaning

    Do you have a group that would like to do some deep cleaning at a community center that serves homeless folks? If so, we have an opportunity for you!

    Peace House Community (PHC) is a small community center that hosts about 150 members a day. Most of our folks are homeless or formerly homeless. Due to limited staff hours and the busyness of the building, we don't have time to do deep cleaning on a regular basis. We'd love to have a group of five to 10 people come in on a weekend to powerwash the floor, scrub and/or touch up the paint on the walls, and complete other cosmetic tasks. We'd like to have one member of the group visit the building to see what they will be doing and help with the planning.

    The building is small (about 2,500 square feet). PHC hosts about 150 members a day, providing a light breakfast, a hot lunch, and services such as haircuts, hand massages, manicures, foot care, bicycle repair, a writers group, and more. We partner with housing, mental health, and physical health organizations to provide direct services to our members. Additionally, other organizations use the building to serve dinners and provide other services.

    Private Group Details:

    • Group Size Range: 5 - 10
    • Event can be held at organization location(s)
    • Donation Requested
