Hospitality House Receives Generous Gift From Longtime Supporter

The Hospitality House, which provides lodging for patients and family members, recently received a generous donation of $13,544. The donation will be restricted to support guests of the House.

Thomas W. Clegg, who ran the nonprofit Interfaith Humanitarian Sanctum, donated the funds. For 11 years, Clegg personally delivered numerous donations of food and drinks for guests of the House.

“The donations were frequent and very generous, said Thomas Bninski of the Hospitality House. "He [Clegg] is an extraordinary gentleman – one who combines his faith with acts of compassion.” Clegg is “no longer capable of exerting himself as in the past, and his generosity entrusts us with carrying on his work.”

After the closure of IHS in 2020, Clegg gave the organization's remaining funds to the Hospitality House.

The generosity of Wayne Clegg and the Interfaith Humanitarian Sanctum is much appreciated! And thank you to the staff of the Hospitality House for providing refuge to those who need it!
