Have fun while supporting a good cause. The Fisher House is a “Ronald McDonald” style of residence. Military families can stay virtually free of charge when they are visiting their injured son, daughter, wife or husband while they are undergoing treatment for their injuries at the Veteran’s Hospital. In the last 2 years we have donated close to $25,000 to the Fisher House.

Questions about donations or how to be a sponsor, please call Mike Anderson at 1.408.972.5400.

“Our hospital receives injured service members from the entire West Coast and as far away as Texas, Alaska and Hawaii. consequently, families must travel long distances to be with them and often do not have the funds to cover extended stays in the Bay Area, Your generous donation of $25,000 over the past 2 years will go far to help them and I will assure you that every penny will go to the families who are in need of help.”
Kerri Childress, Communications Officer & Congressional Liaison - The Fisher House Palo Alto

What is a Fisher House?

The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates "comfort homes"; built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

There is at least one Fisher House at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, the Fisher House program serves more than 7,000 families, and have made available more than 1,500,000 days of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990. Based on a comparison of fees at a Fisher House (the average charge is less than $10 per family per day, with many locations offering rooms at no cost) with commercial lodging facilities in the same area, it is estimated that families have saved nearly $60 million by staying at a Fisher House since the program began.

In addition to constructing new houses, Fisher House Foundation continues to support existing Fisher Houses and help individual military families in need. Families and friends of patients at any of the military's hospitals can now receive up-to-the-minute reports on a loved one by going to the patient's own customized web page, thanks to new services provided through CaringBridge.
