A safe and clean environment is critical for our families' health and a warm and home-like environment is good for their soul! Our families are responsible for the day to day cleaning of their areas, but you can help keep this facility inviting and safe by disinfecting toys, deep cleaning guest rooms, baking cookies, shampooing carpets, stocking our free food pantries, watering flowers and other tasks as needed! Home Helpers also help us decorate the houses for different holidays! Because of the proximity to children and families, all volunteers over the age of 18 are required to pass a background check.

About The Believe In Tomorrow Children's House at Johns Hopkins
Location:
1915 McElderry Street, Baltimore, MD 21205, US
Mission Statement
The mission of The Children's House at Johns Hopkins is to provide a family-centered, supportive residence for children receiving medical care at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. It is our purpose to keep families together in the midst of medical crisis, to reduce stress and to promote self-help and mutual support.
Description
The Children's House at Johns Hopkins is a four-level, fifteen bedroom facility located directly across the street from the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The house serves as a warm "home-away-from-home" for families while their children are undergoing treatment at local area hospitals, including The Johns Hopkins Children's Center.
The Children's House, a project of Believe In Tomorrow National Children's Foundation, was established in January 1993. More than 300 companies and 3,000 individual volunteers joined forces to build the house, making the construction much like a modern-day barn raising. The Children's House continues to rely on the support of many individuals and corporations to operate the facility, and as such, exists as a testimony to the true spirit of volunteerism.
