HANSCOM AFB, Mass.–A volunteer team from Hanscom FCU visited Fisher House Boston to prepare a meal for guests. Fisher House Boston, located at the West Roxbury VA Boston Healthcare Medical facility, provides housing at no charge to family members caring for hospitalized veterans.
“I’m continually impressed with everything Fisher House provides for families during a stressful time. Without this help, I don’t know how many of them could be present for their loved one.” said Paul Marotta, Chairman of the Board for Hanscom FCU.
Hanscom FCU has a branch at the West Roxbury facility and has supported Fisher House Boston since 2010, when the facility opened. Hanscom FCU staff and volunteers visit four times per year to prepare dinner.
“There’s something about coming back to a home-cooked meal after a day at the hospital,” Marotta observed. “This is a way to show families that they are cared for, too.”
