The 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 University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento and the Shriners Hospital for Children 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. 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 UC Davis Medical Center social workers, emergency rooms, and doctor’s offices. Call Social Services 1 (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. The Kiwanis Family House is located at 2875 50th Street, Sacramento, CA 95817.
There are Kiwanis Family Houses in 55 countries and 20 states.
