For fiscal year 2020 Due to COVID -19 the VA Medical Center has limited services and procedures which affected our Veterans and their families. For fiscal year 2020 the Fisher House was able to accommodate 403 families. They provided 115 nights of hotel lodging and 1,422 nights of lodging at the Fisher House. Total savings for Veterans and their families was $449,392. We made Capital improvements to our 25-year old home. We added an outdoor living space with a covered Gazebo and BBQ grill area for our families to enjoy. In 2021we have provided hotel nights, catered meals, gift cards for restaurants , fuel and transportation to our Active Duty and Military families. |
