Hope Lodge Cookie Exchange & Dinner
The Hope Lodge has asked us to run their cookie exchange this year. The cookie exchange will be on 12/21. We will be collecting cookies 12/17 through 12/20. We will also be hosting dinner for the patients that night. We need volunteers to make cookies, run the cookie exchange and to make and serve dinner. Being away from home and in the middle of cancer treatments around Christmas is very hard. We are going to do our best to add a little bit of joy to their Christmas season.
If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please reach out to Matt Clark (his email address can be found using the button below) or simply click the button below to use SignUp Genius.
The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. Patients staying at a Hope Lodge must be in active cancer treatment and permanently reside more than 40 miles away from their cancer treatment center.
The Hope Lodge in Cheltenham, PA has 37 rooms. The Lodge offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening's activities, or unwind in their own private room.
Last year, St. Peter’s helped support their annual cookie exchange at Christmas. Our congregation donated dozens of cookies for the patients. In a couple of weeks we will be preparing dinner for the guests. These small acts can provide moments of “normal” and go a long way for someone battling cancer.
