Bullock Hope House

History: Bullock Hope House is a two-bedroom house in Powder Springs that Randall and Connie Bullock established as a place where families of patients who are receiving medical treatment for life-altering conditions can stay. To qualify, they must live 40 or more miles away from the hospital.

Did you know: The Bullock Hope House partners with WellStar Health System, the American Cancer Society, Children's Healthcare, the Shepherd Center and others to identify families who need a place to stay.

Its motto: The Bullock Hope House wants to provide "housing for hope, one stay at a time."

How you can help: Volunteers can assist during their annual Golf Fore Hope tournament, offer administrative support, or help maintain the house. Financial contributions ensure the Bullock Hope House continues to provide patients and families with a "home away from home."
