| HOPE Lodge is a house in Worcester
that provides housing for cancer patients and their families
while the patient is receiving treatment at area hospitals.
HOPE Lodge is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. The
volunteers visit HOPE Lodge one night a week, and spend time
with those patients who are eager for company. The ages of
the patients range from infants to elders. While at the site
volunteers and patients play games, bake treats, watch movies,
or simply sit and chat. The program is a wonderful experience
for patients and volunteers. “We brought smiles to their
faces each week, and even inspired them to start similar groups
of their own after they left HOPE Lodge. |
