For more than 20 years, Plymouth Healing Communities has provided companionship, housing, and support to those living with mental illness and housing instability in various neighborhoods of Greater Seattle. One of PHC's Permanent Supportive Housing residences, Eng House, is in the diverse and welcoming community of Beacon Hill.
On September 21st, Plymouth Healing Communities will host its 5th annual Night of Hope fundraiser. In addition to donations and grants, PHC relies on sponsorships and community partnerships to achieve our financial goals. Night of Hope sponsorship support provides an excellent opportunity to receive the financial help we need to continue serving our residents while our business partners receive well-deserved recognition throughout the year for their financial support.
Jane and Marcia enjoying soft serve in Beacon Hill.
Recently, on a mission to secure Night of Hope sponsorships, board members Marcia Almquist and Jane Dunkel explored Beacon Hill’s business district armed with information about PHC and a passion for telling our story and our impact on Greater Seattle. They enjoyed walking among our Beacon Hill neighbors, who were also taking in the vibrant sights and sounds of the district on a beautiful summer day. While visiting various restaurants, which served different cuisines representing the diverse community, Marcia and Jane found every person they spoke with to be supportive of our work and willing to consider becoming a sponsor if their financial situation allowed.
Before they ended their visit to the district, Jane, a collector of pint glasses, added to her collection while visiting Beacon Hill’s historic Perihelon Brewery, and they both indulged in soft serve at the Milk Drunk.
Considering it a gift to have the opportunity to walk, eat, talk about PHC, and get better acquainted with our Beacon Hill neighbors, Jane and Marcia urge others to get out and discover the gems that our other neighborhoods have to offer, share our story and continue building relationships and partnerships with our neighbors.
““Beacon Hill is a great neighbor! PHC is all about building community for our residents. I believe in “six degrees of separation” – we are all connected . . . and have faith that something, at some time, will emerge when people connect with people to address an issue that affects all of us.””
