Host Families needed for 2015 World Meeting
of Families
Dar Friends:
So many people have asked, “How can I help with the
World Meeting of Families – Philadelphia 2015?” We
have one way!
We expect thousands and thousands of visitors from
around the U.S. and the world to join us next
September and there is now a host family program to
supplement the hotel rooms in the region. We need
host families!
Homestay, a Dublin company, works every day to
match host families with visitors with an online
system and they created a special online host family
site just for WMOF 2015. Parishioners, school
families, and other area residents can easily sign up
online to be host families. Hosts list specific
accommodations they can offer, household rules, and
language preferences on the web site and visitors
search for a match.
Please help us share this opportunity and spread the
word about hosting a family by directing people to the
website, http://www.worldmeeting2015.org/getinvolved/host-a-family/.
Thank you, Donna Farrell, Executive Director of the
2015 World Meeting of Families
