Dear Friends,

As I reflect on the remarkable 20 year journey we've embarked on with Rahab's Sisters, my heart is filled with pride and gratitude. I started volunteering with this community at the very beginning in 2004, and have witnessed at every stage of our history the profound and ever evolving impacts of Radical Hospitality.

I remember the shock I felt when I heard about the closure of Sts Peter and Paul – our long-standing home. With this shock and deep sadness came a feeling of hope and pride. Rahab’s Sisters is not closing, as I had initially feared. Instead, we are moving forward into a new space with renewed resolve. This resilience is the very essence of what we built from the very beginning: a culture of adaptability and unwavering commitment to community.

This December, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, I invite you to join me in a special commitment to go "20 for 20,” donating $20 per month in honor of our 20th year. This pledge helps us build the next 20 years of Radical Hospitality. And here’s the exciting bonus – every $20 monthly pledge made on Giving Tuesday will be matched by a generous donor!

Your support means more than just sustaining our services; it's a testament to your belief in a future where Rahab’s Sisters is open for more hours on more days, where Guests can access resource navigation and holistic health services every time we’re open, and most importantly where authentic community continues to flourish.

To make your 20 for 20 pledge and double your impact this Giving Tuesday, visit rahabs-sisters.org/donate

Thank you for being a part of this community and helping to build this wonderful future. I am proud to stand with you!

With warm regards,

Mary Dettmann (Volunteer)
