Is your heart of service fulfilled through cooking? If yes, please consider sharing your passion & preparing a community meal for the guests at Transplant House of Cleveland!
Every Wednesday, the guests staying at Transplant House of Cleveland enjoy a free community meal prepared by volunteers. These volunteers prepare home-cooked comfort foods in the convenience of their homes then deliver to them to Transplant House, a home-away-from home for caregivers and patients navigating the transplant journey. Meals are prepared to serve 25-30 guests. Volunteers are welcomed to stay during dinner, help portion meals, and chat with our guests.

About TRANSPLANT HOUSE OF CLEVELAND
Location:
2029 E 115TH ST, CLEVELAND, OH 44106, US
Mission Statement
Only 4% of U.S. medical centers have organ transplant programs. Therefore, most who require a transplant as treatment for end-stage organ disease must travel away from home to receive that care. The effect of this kind of travel on families is profoundly complicated, both emotionally and logistically, and financially burdensome. The length of time away from home (as well as family, work, care of a house, and all familiar forms of support) can range from days to several months. For some, the time can be a year or longer. Transplant House of Cleveland provides affordable, temporary housing and a welcoming, supportive community to organ transplant patients and their families.
Description
Transplant House of Cleveland welcomed its first guest family in 2014, and has since served over 1,000 transplant patients and their families. "The House" is actually 25 separate, home-away-from-home apartments that are fully furnished. In addition to housing, Transplant House also provides programming such as support groups and community dinners.
