Guests at Fisher House are here for one reason: to provide support and encouragement to their ill or injured loved one. However, the role of the caretaker is a heavy one. The stresses of illness and being away from home are challenging. We are grateful to the donors and volunteers who give their time, treasure, and talent to provide these programs to our guests.

Fisher House guests, especially those here for extended stays, can sometimes go a little stir crazy. They need a shift in routine but are reluctant to leave campus. We encourage them to get out and about with a monthly "GNO" or "Guests Night Out."
We explore neighborhood restaurants and other venues, with costs covered by the Friends. More than the food or seeing a new part of town, guests most appreciate an opportunity to get away and feel 'normal.' |
Our fridge is always stocked and our amazing volunteers ensure that our Fisher House guests never have to worry about what's for dinner!
Well Donut Friday may be an exception to the healthy rule, but our guest love it! Guest Mylean put it simply, "I never thought I would be given a gift like this." |
