They will offer free food and accommodation, usually in exchange for 4-5 hours of voluntary help, like in the Wwoofing terms.

However, keep in mind that the hosts will not pay for your travel costs (flight, train, etc.) nor they will be able to cover your VISA or send you invitation letters.

Also, no monthly stipend is offered*.
