Binghamton City School District

What Binghamton City School District does

The Danielle House is a non-profit hospitality house founded on January 22, 2002 by Diane and Tony Stento in Binghamton, New York, named in honor of their daughter Danielle Stento, who was critically injured in 1989. The organization provides temporary, low-cost or no-cost lodging for family members and support persons of patients receiving care at Binghamton-area hospitals, addressing the financial, emotional, and logistical strain of being away from home during a medical crisis. Its physical facility is a single split-level residence at 160 Riverside Drive (directly across from Lourdes Hospital) comprising eight furnished bedrooms, two fully equipped kitchens, three sitting rooms with TV/VCR/DVD, laundry facilities, free Wi-Fi and long-distance phone service, and a family room with children's play area; ground-level handicap accessibility is provided. The organization is a member of the Healthcare Hospitality Network and maintains 24/7 coverage through staff or experienced on-site volunteers.

The core product is direct guest accommodation supported by a volunteer program (3-hour shifts from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and a community-driven fundraising stack. Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary donations, including suggested guest donations of $20/night single occupancy and $35/night double occupancy (with services provided at reduced or no cost for those in financial hardship), an Angel Campaign "Gift a Night" giving program, annual events such as the 19th Annual Fall Fest Fun Raiser on September 11, 2026, multi-year recurring fundraisers (Danielle 5K Run/Walk, bottle and can drive), and charter sponsorships from entities including Crowley Foods, the NYSEG Foundation, the Ahearn Foundation, and The Community Foundation for South Central New York. Guest acquisition is driven by referrals from hospital social workers, physician offices, chaplains, patient relations staff, and pastoral care staff across regional hospitals, nursing homes, and medical facilities. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Founder/Executive Director Diane Stento, with a lean paid staff supplemented by a broad volunteer base.
