Family Houses: How to Help
There are many ways you can help the Family Houses at UC San Diego Health, including volunteering at our annual golf tournament, cooking a meal for our families, volunteering your time, adopting a family or making a financial contribution. Your support is deeply appreciated! Contact us at volunteerfamilyhouses@health.ucsd.edu.
Become a Volunteer at Our Golf Tournament!
Volunteers play an important role at our annual golf tournament. Help with guest registration, setting up our raffle and selling tickets, hosting a hole, greeting guests, and more! Register to volunteer online or contact Kirsten Klein at k1klein@health.ucsd.edu or 619-543-7977 to learn more.
Make a Monetary Donation
Donations are vital so that we may continue to provide a "home away from home" for families with a loved one in the hospital. Donations can be made directly to Bannister Family House, La Jolla Family House, or in honor of an individual.
Give to our Families: Adopt-a-Family
Our Adopt-a-Family program helps families in need pay for our nightly fees so that they can concentrate on what matters most -- their loved one in the hospital.
On behalf of our families, thank you!
Give to Our Pantry!
Our families appreciate the small comforts of home while staying with us. Check out our Amazon wish lists for items to help our homes away from home feel even more welcoming.
Host-A-Meal
Coming home to a warm meal brightens the day for our guests. Through hosted meals, families have a chance to connect and share their feelings and experiences with others staying at the house and the people providing the meal.
While our kitchen is closed to volunteer groups right now, we are accepting the following for our families: Restaurant prepared meals and pre-made meals (Costco, Smart & Final, etc.) delivered to the front door. Please call 619-543-7977 if you would like to schedule a meal.
