Jacob's House presents hospitality-home services to Temecula council, seeks volunteers and support
Summary
Dr. Lisa Chapman and Jacob's House cofounders presented the nonprofit's hospitality-home model to the council, saying the organization has served over 1,600 guests since 2013 and partners with eight hospitals; they invited volunteers and announced a June 12 golf tournament to support operations.
Jacob's House representatives presented their local nonprofit's mission and services during the Feb. 10 Temecula City Council meeting.
Dr. Lisa Chapman introduced the organization's team, including cofounders Sean and Stephanie Nelson, and asked the council and public to consider volunteering or supporting the nonprofit. A video shown at the dais described Jacob's House as the only health-care hospitality home in Riverside County that provides refuge and lodging for family members of patients receiving emergency or extended hospital care. Presenters said Jacob's House opened in 2013 and has served over 1,600 guests from 42 states and 15 countries. They described partnerships with eight hospitals that refer families to the facility and emphasized that services are provided at no cost to families.
The group invited community involvement through volunteering, in-kind donations and an annual fundraising golf tournament planned for June 12 at Journey at Pechanga; presenters said proceeds will directly support families using the facility. Council members thanked the presenters, commended volunteers and encouraged council and residents to tour the facility.
What happens next: Jacob's House outreach to the council may lead to volunteer coordination and partnership opportunities; the organization will continue fundraising and announced public events.
