Have you ever felt like preparing a meal for yourself is just not worth the work? Our guests feel like that everyday because they are so worn out from taking care of their loved ones over at the hospital.
This volunteer position is available to people and groups who enjoy cooking or baking for others. Our guests appreciate the donations from our community because cooking a meal or finding a snack is one stress they do not have to worry about. We need people and/or groups to sign up on our meal calendar to provide a meal or snack for our guests.
Groups provide the items and cook the meal either at our house or yours. Another great idea is baking cookies for the guests. There is nothing like coming home to fresh bakes cookies.
There is no regularly time commitment required. We will work out a schedule with you based on our meal calendar!

Mission Statement
Hospitality House of Charlotte provides the comforts of home for families of seriously ill loved ones by offering affordable accommodations in the heart of Charlotte’s medial community.
Description
In 1985 our first house opened. It was named MMAE'S Inn Hospitality House after the Mecklenburg Medical Alliance and Endowment's generous help in getting the house built. A second HH was opened in St Johns Baptist church in 1992. In March, 2008 we closed these 2 houses and moved into the house we are in today.
Our new house has 22 bedrooms, a sunroom, well-equipped with a stocked kitchen and dining area, a children's area with age-appropriate toys, a computer station, wireless access and game room with lending library. Each floor features, laundry facilities and portable cribs for little ones. We can sleep 60 guests a night. We are full many nights and we have a waiting list. Our guests stay an average of 5 nights and we have about 225 guests a month. Each room costs us $60 a night, we ask our guests to pay a portion ($40) of the cost for their room, and we raise funds through grants, and donations. Over the 30 years, our 100+ volunteers and staff have greeted guests from 49 states and over 38 countries and over 56,000 guests have walked through our doors.
