Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment.

These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, close to the medical center or hospital they serve. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites, with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room and an inviting living room. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee. Since inception, the program has saved military and veterans’ families an estimated $282 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation.

Fisher House Foundation also operates the Hero Miles program, using donated frequent flyer miles to bring family members to the bedside of injured service members as well as the Hotels for Heroes program using donated hotel points to allow family members to stay at hotels near medical centers without charge. The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.

Connect to the Fisher House Foundation website for more information about the organization.

Shad Bake Postponed Until June 28th

That's right! The weather is too unpredictable to call.

So SAVE YOUR TICKETS

We will be hosting out annual Shad Bake next Sunday, June 28th. 

Same time Same place

 

See you there. 

Right now it is pouring hard with rain coming in under our cooking pavilion, making it impossible to start cooking. We'd need to start NOW (730 am) to have food cooked and ready by the start time, so... we have to re-schedule
