There Are Many Ways You Can Make a Donation

Fisher House So Cal was established to build a Fisher House in Long Beach and the success of that development resulted in the organization being invited to expand its support to all of southern California, including Camp Pendleton and San Diego. Fisher House So Cal has expanded its mission to include four Fisher Houses and temporary lodging support for veterans and military families when no Fisher House is available in southern California.

Your generous, tax-deductible donation to Fisher House Southern California Inc. (FHSC) will change the lives of active and retired military servicewomen and men and family members. You will help bring comfort to military and veteran families, providing them with lodging at no cost to them while their loved ones undergo medical treatment.
