Looking To Get Involved?
Since 1983, we have been a “home away from home” for patients, families, and caregivers when they must travel to Pittsburgh for medical care. Join us in helping to provide guests with rest, comfort, and support that can positively impact their health journeys.
Volunteering
In addition to individual volunteer opportunities, Family House has volunteer opportunities for groups. Group volunteering timelines can be adjusted on a case-by-case basis. Requests to adjust timelines can be expressed in the comments of your sign-up form. Group volunteer opportunities include: group dinners, group baking, grab-and-go snack bags, and pantry/hygiene drives.
In-Kind Donations
Groups are invited to drop off pantry and hygiene items at Family House. Keeping our kitchen stocked, pantry filled, and personal hygiene items readily available helps us provide our guests with everything they need during their stay, no matter how unexpected it is.
- Please consider collecting low-sodium and low-sugar options for our guests and and patients with chronic health conditions.
- For sanitary purposes, we accept only travel-sized and individually packaged toiletry items to distribute to our guests and patients.
- Ticket Donations: Whether they’re unfamiliar with Pittsburgh or in need of diversion during a difficult time, you can help serve Family House guests in a tangible way by donating tickets/passes to local events or attractions, including but not limited to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Kamin Science Center, National Aviary, and Pittsburgh sports teams.
