Fisher House Southern California is reinforcing its commitment to military families by promoting its Legacy Giving Society, a program that allows supporters to include the organization in their estate plans. This initiative ensures that the nonprofit can continue providing free temporary housing near military and VA medical centers for years to come.
When a service member is hospitalized, families often face significant out-of-pocket costs for lodging and meals, despite assumptions that government assistance covers all expenses. Fisher House Southern California alleviates this burden by offering a "home away from home" at no cost, allowing families to focus on their loved one's recovery. The Legacy Giving Society provides a structured way for donors to make a lasting impact through bequests, living trusts, and retirement plan designations.
By incorporating charitable giving into estate planning, community members can directly contribute to the sustainability of this critical safety net. The organization's full online resource offers detailed information on these options and how to support military families during medical emergencies. Interested individuals can visit Fisher House Southern California's Legacy Giving for more details.
Fisher House Southern California is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates five Fisher Houses across four locations in Southern California. These facilities provide no-cost lodging for military members, veterans, and their families while a loved one receives care at VA or military hospitals. When Fisher House accommodations are unavailable, the organization assists with nearby temporary lodging, further reducing financial strain.
The Legacy Giving program underscores the ongoing need for community support, as the demand for these services continues to grow. By planning ahead, donors can ensure that future generations of military families have access to the same support and comfort that Fisher House provides today.
