Our Mission
Domus Pacis partners with Summit County homeowners to provide week-long respite stays in donated mountain homes for families navigating cancer and other serious medical journeys. Each respite offers a place to rest, reconnect, and spend meaningful time together—grounded in our belief that peace can be found in the mountains, fresh air, and connection with loved ones during life’s most challenging chapters. Together with homeowners, businesses, donors, and volunteers, we create lasting memories while strengthening a culture of compassion and community impact throughout Summit County.
