When treated for injury or illness, the last thing our active and retired military service members need to think about is, “Who’s taking care of my family?”
FHSC Board of Directors
Our mission is to evangelize the spirit of Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher’s original drive to provide temporary lodging for U.S. veterans and military personnel who can’t afford it while they or their loved ones endure medical procedures and treatments far away from home. Board members enthusiastically engage in and support planning for an expanded service area, fundraising, representing Fisher House So Cal at events, presentations and celebrations, and personal involvement in spreading the word about this serious national need and how others can help solve the problem.
