Hospitality Homes provides short-term, no-cost housing for families and friends of patients traveling to Boston for medical treatment. Our wonderful volunteer host families provide accommodations in their own homes and in doing so, enable patients to have their loved ones by their sides while they receive treatment at area hospitals. We have an urgent need for Spanish-speaking host families due to a substantial increase in demand for our service by Latino families, both American and international. If you have a spare room available, please contact us for information on how you can make a meaningful impact from the comfort of your own home. You decide how often to host and what types of guests you’re able to accommodate, and guests provide their own meals and transportation. Hosting is a unique and tangible way to teach children valuable lessons about helping others. For details on hosting and other volunteer opportunities: 617-482-4338 or www.hosp.org.
