Host Families 2022-02-07T14:43:25+00:00

Volunteer Hosts are the first people that the HEROES meet on their arrival and are a valued and integral part of our program. We get rave reviews from past hosts about their remarkable experiences meeting and greeting our Hero Families, helping them make memories that last a lifetime.

A local volunteer Host establishes a connection with the Hero family prior to their assigned Hero vacation via telephone. The Host then meets the Hero family upon their Sunday arrival at a prearranged location around 4 pm. They then take our HERO family to the Hilton Head Hero house and are the Hero family’s phone contact during the week long HERO vacation. They also check the family out of the HERO house the next Sunday at 10 am., retrieving the gift certificate book and other items to return to the Host Coordinators.

For more information on how to become a Volunteer Host , please call The Host Coordinators Jan Raisch (843-671-2953) or Marilyn Healy (843-842-2338).
