Please note: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some of these programs may still be closed in your area, or just starting to open up. If you are interested in getting involved, be sure to reach out to an ACS representative to see what opportunities are currently available.
Hope Lodge’s across the United States provide cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when they are away from home for treatment. There are 30 Hope Lodges throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico and six in the Northeast Region (Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Burlington, VT; New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Rochester, NY).
