OUR FOCUS
American Cancer Society Hope Lodge Program
Hope Lodge communities across the country provide a free place to stay during treatment so people with cancer can focus on getting better. These communities provide comfortable guest suites with private baths, as well as inviting spaces with all the comforts of home, including a communal kitchen, dining area, laundry rooms, and places to gather or find a quiet respite – all at no cost to guests. Currently the Hope Lodge program offers 1,158 rooms at 31 Hope Lodge communities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
