Hospitality Homes- Boston "Rest assured"- Every year more than 260,000 people travel to Boston seeking treatment at some of the finest medical facilities in the world. With them come families and friends who lend support through what is often an arduous time in their lives. Unfortunately, many of these loved ones cannot afford the high cost of hotels in the Boston area.
That is where Hospitality Homes helps. Founded in 1983, we place families and friends in need of a place to stay in the homes of caring people who want to help. Our hosts, who live in Boston or nearby areas, provide guests with a spare bedroom in their homes knowing they are helping a patient's healing process. To learn more about Hospitality Homes and how you can become involved, please browse through the pages here. They will help you with most of the information you will need to decide if you want to use our services as a guest, refer a family to us, open your home as a host or work with our organization in any way. We hope you will spread the word about Hospitality Homes among your business contacts, friends, family, and neighbors. We invite you to contact us at 617.482.4338 or by email to share your ideas and learn more about how you can support the program. ---------------------------------------------------------- Working in conjunction with the staff at the following Ronald McDonald Houses; Albany (NY), Boston & Springfield (MA), Bangor & Portland (ME) Providence (RI), New Haven (CT) & Burlington (VT) Building on Love provides financial support to families in financial need due to the impact of the serious illness of their child.
