Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Fill in the 'Sign up to serve today' form on the group's website with your name, phone, email and a short message. Then watch the site for the next Hope Lodge evening..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

A Hope Lodge evening runs from 5 to 8 pm at Hope Lodge in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, outside the city. Volunteers cook and serve a home-cooked dinner for patients receiving treatment at Fox Chase and their families, then talk and listen with them. The site does not describe training, a first shift, or a dress code.

Tips for your first visit

  • Confirm the date with the group before you go, since events are posted as they come up.
  • Hope Lodge is outside the city, and the site gives no transit or parking details, so plan your ride.
  • Ask the group what to bring or wear when you sign up; the site does not say.
