I copied this from the KFH website.  Our support of KFH is a great selling point for donations to Davis Kiwanis and encouragement of new members.  Joanne

Kiwanis Family House is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing temporary housing for families of seriously ill or injured patients being treated at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. The Kiwanis Family House is a home-away-from-home for families who must travel at least 35 miles to seek medical treatment.

Pediatric patients and their families often travel long distances to receive treatment at UC Davis Children's Hospital. Finding low-cost lodging near the hospital can be important to these families, especially if the child has a life-threatening injury or illness. The Kiwanis Family House, located on UC Davis Medical Center grounds, offers inexpensive family accommodations - with individual bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, pay phone, and hook-ups for recreational vehicles. We also have free internet access, free long distance telephone calls, teleconferencing, spiritually counseling, free parking and shuttle bus to the hospital. Kiwanis Clubs from around the Sacramento region provide financial support and volunteer staff for the facility.

Guests come to the Kiwanis Family House through a referral system. Referrals are accepted from UCD Medical Center social workers, emergency rooms, and doctor's offices. Call Social Services (916) 734-2234, for more information. No family is ever turned away who is in financial difficulty; a portion or the entire fee may be waived.

Learn about the Kiwanis Family House: our mission to support families, our history of building and serving the community, and learn more about our dedicated founders and board of directors.  Open House every 3^rd Thursday of each month from 10 am.

It was a fine dinner and well supported by Kiwanis members
