SERVICE PROJECT April 16, 2025: Family House

Join Family House, a grant partner of the Rotary Club of San Francisco, for an opportunity to prep, cook, serve, and clean up an Italian dinner for their community. Volunteers will serve approximately 70 people, and Family House staff will be on site to provide support.

Event is limited to 10 people. Register now to save your spot.

Parking is available on the street. Volunteers are encouraged to wear Rotary-branded attire that can get dirty, as well as layers to be prepared for multiple weather conditions. Dinners will be served outside on the Family House patio.

Family House serves as a home away from home for families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses by providing physical comfort and emotional support, free from financial concerns. Founded in 1981, Family House is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization providing temporary housing to families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital. Qualifying families live more than 50 miles from UCSF, and many live at or below the low-income status as determined by UCSF. Family House sustains nearly a 100% occupancy rate and can accommodate 250 people per night. Over the course of a year, Family House serves more than 4,000 families.

Year Round Toy Drive (Optional): To make an extra special impact, each volunteer is requested to bring an unwrapped toy. Toys are given out all year round through Fozzy’s Toy Room – where every time a family checks in with a patient and/or sibling, they get to pick out a toy. This will be an ongoing need as Family House currently goes through 85 toys per week!
