Team Building
Each day, Family House opens our doors to guests from all over North Carolina and beyond. Your organization’s support enables Family House to provide a safe, affordable, and nurturing environment for thousands of traveling UNC patients and their loved ones.
Partnering with Family House can address an organization’s marketing, business, and social impact goals.
Provide food and comfort!
One of the most meaningful ways to serve at Family House is by sharing a meal. Volunteer groups can prepare and serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a weekend brunch—offering not just food, but comfort, connection, and a sense of home during a difficult time.
Available Opportunities
Looking for a team-building experience that truly matters? Service days are a wonderful way for businesses and organizations to give back together. Whether onsite or offsite, your group can make a real difference while strengthening connections and boosting morale.
Popular service day activities include:
- Preparing meals or treats for guests
- Assembling care packages
- Tackling light facilities or outdoor projects
It’s teamwork with heart—and impact you can see
Early mornings at the hospital don’t leave much time for breakfast. You can help by assembling Grab n’ Go bags filled with easy, portable snacks like muffins, granola bars, trail mix, juice, and more. These small bags deliver big comfort as guests head out the door.
Help us keep comfort within reach. Our guests rely on our community pantry and refrigerators to prepare meals during long and often stressful days. Hosting a food drive is a simple yet powerful way to make sure families always have nourishing options available when they need them most.
It may sound simple, but it makes a huge impact. With 75 guest rooms, there’s always laundry to be folded! Gather a group (up to 10 people) and spend a couple of hours together turning clean linens into a warm, welcoming space for our next families. It’s hands-on, meaningful, and surprisingly fun!
Want an easy way to give? Our Amazon Wish List is always updated with exactly what our House and guests need most. Host a drive with your group and help us keep essential items stocked without the guesswork.
Have a creative idea? We’d love to hear it! There are so many ways to make a difference, including:
- Grounds beautification projects
- Notes of encouragement for guests
- Donating baked goods
- Toiletry kit drives
- Wellness, music, or art offerings
If you can dream it, we can likely make it happen—just reach out and let’s create something meaningful together.
