It was an honor to serve you for over 30 years & we are forever grateful for your support. the Hospitality House (Hebrews 13:2-3), Inc. WAS located in Chester, Illinois, and began providing overnight lodging to prisoner families and friends in July, 1986. The Hospitality House was a two-story house with four bedrooms, three baths, kitchen, lounge, and two rooms which serve as living quarters for a
House Director. Over 31,300 guests have stayed at the Hospitality House since 1986. Hospitality House's purpose is to provide overnight lodging at a low cost to the guest. Kitchen is available to use if so desired. Hospitality House also has a stocked pantry for guest use. There are two institutions in Chester which the Hospitality House serves; they are: Menard Correctional Institutions (Maximum and medium security) and Chester Mental Health. The Hospitality House is managed by a five member board and a resident house manager who lives on site. The Hospitality House was run solely on donations from guests, individuals, organizations, churches, and grants. Many people volunteer time and supplies to keep the Hospitality House open. After 38 years of ministry to prisoner families, the Hospitality House of Chester CLOSED its doors to this most valuable ministry. New owners are now renovating the house for personal use.
