Serve Dinner to Cancer Patients

The American Cancer Society’s Nashville Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when traveling for their cancer treatment. Not having to worry about lodging allows guests to focus on getting better. Our mission is to provide a community-driven, supportive environment. We achieve this through qualified caring staff and volunteers, fostering a culture of kindness and respect, and upholding a clean, comfortable facility while instilling hope with aflare of Tennessee hospitality. 

Our Cooking Up Hope volunteer program connects our community with guests through fellowship and food. Groups/teams usually provide the meal, but an individual can host.

Important Details:

• Groups are solely responsible for purchasing and serving the meal.
• Groups pick a date and time that works for them.
• Meals can be catered or cooked at the Hope Lodge.
• Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner are available options.
• Each meal lasts at least 1 hour and no longer than 2.
• Prepare food for an average headcount of 35 guests.
• Volunteer groups are asked to clean up their food/space before leaving. 

The Hope Lodge does have some serving supplies, but replenishing the plates/cups/napkins is always appreciated.
