Building our Mission and Vision
We gathered again as Jonah House residents and Friends of Jonah House, and this time we named our Jonah House mission and vision. We look forward to building community with you inline with these values. Hope you’ll join us in Fall 2023 for the Jonah House 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Jonah House Visioning Gathering
We gathered at Jonah House as creatives, activists, and peace-makers to share community, honor our roots, and brainstorm a mission and vision.
We also shared a wonderful meal made by Jemila with ingredients from the community garden. Stay connected in the coming weeks for updates regarding our mission and for information about a celebration at Jonah House. We hope you’ll join us!
