Hope Lodge

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. Each Hope Lodge community offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in activities, or unwind in their own private room. Patients staying at a Hope Lodge must be in active cancer treatment.

During renovations, the American Cancer Society is seeking community groups, families, businesses to provide meals while the kitchens are closed. Provide one meal, or several. You can choose the date and the menu. Meals must be prepared offsite and brought to the Hope Lodge.
