Jubilee Urban House Raising

Save the Kirkegaard House

For almost two decades this house has been an open door: a place to stay through seasons of trauma or need, a base for relief during floods, tornadoes, COVID and ice storms, and a good cup of coffee for anyone who knocks. A builder hired to expand that hospitality destroyed the home and took the money. Now we're asking the neighborhood to raise it back up, together.

The house where everyone is safe, seen, valued, and loved.
