Navy Fisher House - Navy Fisher House provides a home away from home for wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families, both Active Duty and Retired. 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. The Navy Fisher Houses assist families in need and ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment.
Eligibility Requirements

Each Fisher House has a full-time staff but depends on volunteers and voluntary support to enhance daily
operations and program expansion. Please consider volunteering your time to help our courageous service members and their families.
