1) Crochet, knit and sew handmade items for Team Yarn, as we’ll be donating regularly to the Hope Lodge. There’s a box of handmade items just inside the door from which guests can go through to find the perfect item to give them comfort through their cancer treatment.
2) Volunteer
Options include:
- Volunteer coordinator
- Reception: Greet folks as they come in, provide information, maintain the check-in and check-out sheet, answer phone calls, and manage other front desk activities.
- Facilities or office assistant: Help keep the Hope Lodge clean and running smoothly for guests.
- Tour guide: Provide guided tours of the facility for guests prior to their stay. The Hope Lodge also receives requests for tours from schools, church groups and others in the community.
- Arrange special meals and events for guests: Help provide these opportunities by either providing the food yourself or asking a local club or sports team to host a pot luck or cookout. Or organize a craft night, or bring in local entertainers.
3) Donate $
The average cost to the American Cancer Society to provide free lodging for one night is $50. The average stay for one guest is 11 nights.
