*In an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19, the Yellow Door administrative office will remain closed until further notice. All wellness groups, Rabbit Hole Cafe, Coffeehouse, and all rentals are also canceled at this time. YD staff will be working from home, and we will continue to run an altered version of our Generations Program in an attempt to reach vulnerable and home-bound seniors. If you are interested in assisting seniors during this time, please complete the volunteer application.*

GENERATIONS

Established in 1972, our outreach program aims to prevent premature institutionalization by fostering intergenerational relationships. We work toward this by matching youth volunteers
​with seniors living in our community.​

Wellness groups

Our intergenerational wellness group programs engage all ages in a variety of fun and stimulating workshops and group activities designed to encourage mental and physical well-being while preventing social isolation. ​

RABBIT HOLE cafe

Our friendly vegan cafe serves up a healthy and delicious lunch to the community. The food is always affordable and the service is run by a group of dedicated volunteers.

COFFEEHOUSE

For over 50 years the Coffeehouse has served as an alternative space to support and promote local artists. As an alcohol-free alternative to the bar scene, all ages are welcome!
