What's your favorite hobby? Painting, collaging, knitting, cross-stitch? The Gift of Life Family House is looking for individual or small groups (2-3) of volunteers to share their knowledge and skills by teaching an art or craft to a small group of guests staying at the house. Family House activity volunteers provide a much appreciated fun few hours after dinner, after a long day being at the hospital or doctor's appointments.
These activities take place from 7-9 pm on an available weekday selected by the volunteer. A Family House staff member will assist you with the planning and day of details!
Both one time or ongoing commitments are available!
If you'd like assistance picking or planning your activity, please email. If you are ready to sign up, click here: Activity Sign Up.

About Gift of Life Howie's House
Location:
401 Callowhill Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123, US
Mission Statement
Gift of Life Howie's House serves as a "home away from home" for transplant patients and their families by providing temporary, affordable lodging, and supportive services to those who travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for transplant-related care. Our Volunteer Program is a critical component of our mission. Whether it's cooking a meal, answering the phone, transporting our guests, or thanking our donors, Howie's House volunteers are the "Heart of the House."
Description
Gift of Life Donor Program is the largest organ procurement organization (OPO) in the United States, leading the nation in the number of organ donors since 2008. Serving more than 11.3 million people across the eastern half of Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware, we help and heal lives by coordinating the recovery and distribution of organs and tissues used in life-saving and life-enhancing transplants.
Many living outside of the Gift of Life service area travel to the Philadelphia area from outside the region for transplant-related care. Gift of Life Howie's House serves as a "home away from home" for these transplant patients and their families. Howie's House House not only provides housing but also home-cooked meals, transportation to and from local hospitals, and a community atmosphere for patients and families.
