Fisher House Southern California is reinforcing its commitment to military families by promoting its Legacy Giving Society, an initiative that allows supporters to include the organization in their estate plans. The program ensures that the nonprofit can continue providing temporary, no-cost housing near major military and VA medical centers for years to come.
The need for such support remains critical, as military families often face significant out-of-pocket expenses for lodging and food when a service member is hospitalized. While government assistance may cover medical care, it does not always extend to the ancillary costs that can strain families during already stressful times. Fisher House Southern California addresses this gap by offering a 'home away from home' at no charge, alleviating financial pressures so families can focus on their loved one's recovery.
Through options such as bequests, living trusts, and retirement plan designations, community members can make a lasting impact. These planned gifts provide a sustainable funding source, ensuring that the organization's services remain available for future generations of military families. By incorporating Fisher House Southern California into their estate plans, donors can directly contribute to the stability of this vital safety net.
