We officially launched our new page for The Hostel KC! This project was created with the same heart behind Open Doors, building community, creating opportunity, and finding creative ways to sustain and expand our mission.

We’d love for our Open Doors family to go give the page a follow, share it, and support this next chapter with us

Local Hostel powered by Open Doors Foundation. All revenue goes directly to sustaining programs and services for the community.

We’ve been quiet for a while, because we’ve been busy working on a few projects.

As non-profit service providers, it’s our duty to get creative with fundraising to ensure we can sustain our programs and services. Welcome to the Hostel KC. The revenue generated by guests staying at the hostel during the World Cup will ensure Open Doors Foundation can sustain and expand programs within our low barrier shelter.

At the conclusion of the World Cup, this will become the home for all things Open Doors.

Putting faces to the story. 📸
This is LaToya, Jerry, and Jayvian, the family we recently shared.
Toya and Jerry are pushing forward, and their focus is giving Jayvian stability and a fresh start.
Right now, their biggest barrier is transportation.
They are relying on buses and expensive rideshares just to get to work and school and a reliable vehicle would change everything for this family’s ability to stay stable and keep moving forward.
We’re pushing hard to help them get there.
If you feel called to help, please consider donating, sharing this post, or reaching out about ways you can support. Every share helps put this family one step closer to independence.
Thank you for helping us open doors.
