Porchlight Programs

Daytime Resource Center

A new Daytime Resource Center has opened for the winter months at 754 E. Washington Avenue. Guests are welcome there from 8:30am to 4:30pm daily (including weekends), and will have access to phone, internet, housing and employment assistance, and limited food.

Hospitality House, Porchlight's original daytime resource center for homeless and low-income people in Dane County, will remain open from 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, but will not be open on weekends. Services at Hospitality House include employment and housing counseling, assistance in obtaining employment (e.g. identifications and work clothes), telephone and mail services, and medical and legal assistance. Hospitality House is also the site for the DIGS program. Hospitality House serves over 7,000 men, women and children a year.

Hospitality House is located at 1490 Martin Street. A shuttle bus runs every morning to Hospitality House from the Salvation Army and the Drop-In Shelter, leaving Salvation Army at 8:00am.
