October has given us so much to be thankful for.

As we wind down the last few days of the month, we want to thank our Hope Lodge family for the support, kindness, and love you’ve shared with Hope Lodge Jackson.

We celebrated bell-ringing milestones alongside family and friends—a joyful reminder of the people at the heart of our mission.

Our EMPOWER activities offered opportunities to connect through a trail mix bar, gratitude pumpkins, and Coffee with Caregivers. Volunteers and community partners shared their time, creativity, and encouragement, helping make these gatherings meaningful for our guests and caregivers.

Generosity filled our shelves and our tables. Donations of food, water, toiletries, household essentials, awareness bracelets, ribbon pins, and sweet treats brought comfort to everyday life. Cooking Up Hope meals brought people together for nourishment, friendship, and conversation, while monetary gifts and community fundraising supported our mission.

Helping hands cared for our community garden bed, painted rocks for our healing garden, and helped keep our lodge clean, safe, and welcoming.

We celebrated a special leadership award for our General Manager and recognized our leadership team on Boss’s Day. Our new ice machine was welcomed with plenty of appreciation!

Beyond our doors, our team joined a breast cancer awareness walk to share our mission and connect with the community. We were also honored to take part in the groundbreaking for the new cancer facility next door and welcome attendees into our lodge to learn about the support available here.

Throughout the month, we also participated in health and wellness events recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month, helping more people learn about Hope Lodge and the support available when traveling for cancer treatment.

Our online Hope Lodge family grew to 1,600+ followers, helping more people discover this resource through your reactions, comments, and shares.

Whether you volunteered, donated, served a meal, joined an activity, or helped spread the word, you helped make this month special. Thank you for helping our guests and caregivers feel cared for while they’re away from home during cancer treatment.

We are thankful for each and every one of you! 💙

Sharing information, building connections, and bringing Hope Lodge’s mission to Magnolia, MS!

Hope Lodge Jackson was honored to participate in Walking in Health and Wellness Day on October 27, hosted by Alcorn State University Cooperative Extension Family and Consumer Sciences and the City of Magnolia, MS in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We appreciated the opportunity to share how Hope Lodge provides free lodging and free transportation to treatment for eligible guests traveling to Jackson for cancer care. Connecting with communities beyond Jackson helps more people learn that a welcoming place to stay and a caring support system are available when treatment takes them away from home.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who joined us for a day focused on health, education, and community. We’re grateful to have been part of it! 💙🎀

From a prepared meal to something for breakfast or a load of laundry, your kindness helps make everyday life a little easier for our guests and caregivers during their stay.

We’re especially grateful for your continued support of our lodge. Thank you for showing up time and again with generosity and care for our Hope Lodge family! 💙

A shared meal, meaningful conversations, and kindness that reaches beyond the table.

Thank you to Sugar's Place Downtown for donating the delicious food and to Anderson United Methodist Church Cancer Care Ministry for serving lunch to our Hope Lodge Jackson guests and caregivers. Gathering around the table offered time to connect, enjoy each other’s company, and find friendship and encouragement.

We’re also grateful to Anderson United Methodist Church for its generous monetary donation, helping us continue to provide free lodging for people traveling for cancer treatment and their caregivers.

Thank you both for sharing your kindness and generosity with our Hope Lodge family! 💙

💙 Once part of our Hope Lodge family, always part of our family!

A former guest was in town for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Central Mississippi event and stopped by to catch up—and brought kindness to share!

Remembering how much the generosity of others meant during her own stay, she donated snacks and cancer awareness items for our current guests and caregivers.

Visits like these mean so much. We love reconnecting and seeing the care our guests received inspire them to give back.

Thank you for staying in touch and thinking of those who now call Hope Lodge Jackson their home away from home. We wish you continued great health and look forward to your next visit! 💙

💗 An early start, a day of connection, and plenty of Hope Lodge spirit!

Our Hope Lodge Jackson team was up early to set up our table for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Central Mississippi! With fun swag and information to share, we loved meeting new friends, reconnecting with familiar faces, and spreading the word about our mission.

A heartfelt thank-you to Monty Permenter and all the sponsors, donors, and volunteers whose hard work made this day so special. Flowood Liberty Park was a wonderful setting to come together in support of everyone affected by breast cancer. We’re excited to see this event continue to grow! 🎀

Afterward, our team gathered for breakfast at Primos Cafe Flowood—a chance to relax, laugh, and enjoy a little more time together.

We’re grateful to have been part of such a meaningful day with our community and our Hope Lodge family! 💗

A memorable day in our neighborhood!

Hope Lodge Jackson was honored to be part of the groundbreaking for UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute this week, on the property next to our lodge.

Following the groundbreaking, a reception was held on the lodge grounds, along with a tent featuring “It’s About Time” keepsakes. We especially enjoyed welcoming so many attendees inside Hope Lodge and sharing a look at the comfort, connection, and support our guests and caregivers find here.

Our lodge serves people traveling for cancer treatment at centers throughout the Jackson area, and we’re grateful for opportunities to help more people learn about this resource.

Here are a few moments from the day. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit and learn more about our Hope Lodge family! 💙
