Family House volunteers make our house a home, from welcoming patients and caregivers to preparing warm dinners for guests after a day of medical appointments. Family House volunteering is flexible with your schedule—and it makes a serious impact.
House Volunteering
January 2022 Update: As Family House begins its transition to the new Liberty Avenue location, new House Volunteer onboarding is currently paused. Family House anticipates resuming new volunteer training in mid-2022. To be added to the wait list, please email your interest to Marian Emanuelson at memanuelson@familyhouse.org.
Group Volunteering
Group Volunteers are needed throughout Family House’s 2022 transition to our new location. Organizations, corporate groups, friends, family, and more are invited into Family House’s kitchens to prepare and serve homemade meals for guests during their stay. Learn more about Group Volunteering. For additional information or to schedule a meal, contact Marian Emanuelson at memanuelson@familyhouse.org or 412-647-4917.
Pantry Drives
Food donations help Family House stock pantries so guests can have reliable meals between medical appointments. Arrange a pantry drive with Marian Emanuelson at memanuelson@familyhouse.org or 412-647-4917—or check out regularly updated food items on our Amazon Wish List.
