Simply create a personal or team fundraising page on the Family House’s CrowdRise page and share it with your friends, family and co-workers!
You can set a fundraising goal, add your own photos and stories, and encourage meaningful contributions that will make a real impact at the Family House.

A Giving Campaign is also a wonderful way to commemorate a special occasion, make a tribute to a loved one, or celebrate a personal or group achievement - like running a 5K! Set up yourCrowdRise page today
All proceeds from your online fundraiser will support the Family House Adopt-A-Family Program. The nightly fee of only $40 per night to stay at the Family House is set far below our actual operating costs. Because of the support from the community, we can keep this price low, and also keep our promise to never turn away a family who cannot pay.

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.
