Hosts for Hospitals

Become a Host Family

A Letter from St. Luke Philoptochos Host for Hospitals Ambassador Pamela Milcos-Smith.

Hello to my fellow Philoptochos sisters,

I'd like to take a minute to share some information about a great organization called Hosts for Hospitals, one of our newest charities. This non-profit has been arranging housing for families staying in the Philadelphia area seeking medical treatment for the past 25 years. Volunteers with Hosts for Hospitals can provide a spare bedroom to someone whose family member is undergoing surgery or treatment at one of our many Philadelphia area hospitals. It is a great way to help someone in need who is going through a difficult time. As we all know, hotel stays can be expensive (not to mention scarce in 2026!).

Feel free to watch the video to hear more about this meaningful experience.
