Our Mission: The Dogpatch Hub provides a much needed communal space for Dogpatch neighbors with no barriers to entry. A place without any particular creed, that embraces all our cultures.

The Hub is a “third place” -- it will be built with the intention to foster community engagement, civic encounters and connection. The Hub will offer educational and informative programming and services for all segments of our population. To learn more visit: https://www.dogpatchhub.org/
