Providing Hope At A Home Away From Home

American Cancer Society is on a mission to support individuals, and their caregivers, whom are undergoing treatment to rid themselves of cancer. Their Hope Lodge new Moffitt Cancer Center offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Not having to worry about where to stay or how to pay for lodging allows guests to focus on getting better. Hope lodge provides nurturing, home-like environment where guests can retreat to private rooms or connect with others.

The GFWC Pasco Juniors have worked with our local Hope Lodge through the years by providing a meal for the individuals that are taking temporary residency at this facility. Due to ongoing COVID restrictions, the members were not able to provide an in person support, interacting with the patients and their caregivers like they have in the past. However, that did not them from providing a much appreciated, nutritious, home made dinner. Members each provided a dish to feed the 50 individuals on site for the evening. Although they weren't in person to share their support, the love is received through the effort shown with this delivery.
