Matching Gift Donation Opens Opportunity to Support Hope Lodge Nebraska

The American Cancer Society is pleased to announce a $500,000 matching gift opportunity for the community to help save lives from cancer by Giving Hope a Home through Hope Lodge Nebraska (hopelodgenebraska.org).

Hope Lodge Nebraska is currently under construction at 8030 Farnam Drive, on land donated by Methodist Health Systems. This Hope Lodge will provide a home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers traveling to Omaha for treatment. The facility will have 32 private rooms and community areas where guests can connect with one another in a supportive and nurturing environment. This free lodging program helps eliminate many emotional and financial concerns and allows patients to focus on what is most important, getting well. Hope Lodge Nebraska will join over 30 other Hope Lodges currently open across the country

The Giving Hope a Home opportunity is for businesses, individuals, families, friends and survivors to have a personal stake in building a community of hope by making general donations to the Hope Lodge Nebraska campaign or by purchasing a lasting commemorative piece, a luminaria. Displayed day and night on the facility’s campus, luminaria represent our shared vision for a cancer-free future.
