Fisher House Southern California, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting military families during medical crises, is highlighting its Legacy Giving Society as a way for community members to make a lasting impact. The organization, which provides temporary housing near major military and VA medical centers, continues to address the ongoing needs of military members, veterans, and their families. Through the Legacy Giving Society, supporters can include long-term contributions in their estate plans, ensuring that these vital accommodations remain available for future generations.
Many people assume that government assistance covers all expenses when a service member is hospitalized, but military families often face substantial lodging and food costs during treatment. Fisher House Southern California helps eliminate these financial burdens by offering a cost-free "home away from home" near treatment facilities. By establishing options such as bequests, living trusts, and retirement plan designations, community members can play a direct role in maintaining this critical safety net.
The organization supports five Fisher Houses across four Southern California locations, helping reduce the financial burden of travel and lodging so families can focus on healing. When Fisher House accommodations are unavailable, the organization assists with nearby temporary lodging, ensuring that families can stay together during medical treatment.
