Unexpected Hospitality: A Church’s Role in Community Care – Danielle Stowaway, Reality SF [San Francisco Sundays]

In this episode of San Francisco Sundays, we explore a fresh perspective on hospitality—one that goes beyond restaurants and hotels to focus on community care. Join us as we sit down with Danielle Stowaway, who leads justice and outreach initiatives at Reality San Francisco, a church committed to showing hospitality to everyone, especially those with limited resources.

Through her work, Danielle helps provide warm meals to over 300 families weekly, creates safe spaces for unhoused families, and fosters collaborative partnerships with organizations across San Francisco. She shares her journey from working in art and fashion to discovering her calling in community service, emphasizing the importance of listening, collaboration, and showing up for neighbors.

Whether you work in hospitality or want to make your community a better place, Danielle’s story will inspire you to think differently about what it means to extend a warm welcome.
