Please read.

We are devastated by this development, and know that this space has been a pillar for our neighbors and friends for over 65 years. We only hope to re-open PHDC as an independent, self-funded organization dedicated to serving others and creating space for everyone to feel welcomed. It has been our privilege to work for this organization, and we love you all.

today, we're reflecting on the amazing impact YOU make here at PH through one of many crucial ways: donating! supporting us makes so many of the things you see here possible: partnered events with other incredible organizations (Open Mic Night with Vocales Verticales featured); programming for our community members (next generation of radically hospitable neighbors incoming!); and, of course, keep this place running (small plumbing emergency pictured).

everything we're able to accomplish stems from your commitment to our mission, and for that, we thank you thank you thank you!!!! consider supporting us today on our website, or visit us in-person🤍

the countdown to 2026 is HERE! if, like me, you too are missing the days of sitting on our patio listening to the beautiful sounds of nature (cars passing by, horns honking, people chatting), this one's for you!

we're so excited for next year's sunny days, and for more events like this past year: Fall Fun Days, PorchFest, amazing workshops (natural dye workshop featured here!), and of course, our big birthday bash. until then, stay warm, and keep it cool, friends🏂
