The Philoxenia House offers two fully furnished two-bedroom apartments, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and meet the temporary lodging needs of out-of-town patients and their families during cancer treatment in Seattle. Conveniently located near Fred Hutch, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and Children’s Hospital, the Philoxenia House is managed as a ministry of Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church. Parishioners in the community are dedicated to supporting patients and easing their stay through acts of love and care. Temporary Housing is provided for a nominal daily charge, a nonrefundable cleaning charge and a refundable security/damage  deposit, and guests are accommodated from a waiting list.

The St. Demetrios Philoxenia House Ministry Fund serves two key purposes: to raise and sustain resources for the operation and administration of the Philoxenia House, and to provide financial assistance to residents in need. Our goal is to begin each year with a $25,000 fund balance to support these efforts. Currently, we have pledges of $7,000 for 2025 and are seeking an additional $18,000 to reach our goal for the year.
