Pampering the Families

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.​

Guests Night Out

Volunteers Cook Delicious Meals for Guests

Donut Friday 

​Fisher House guests, especially those here for extended stays, can sometimes go a little stir crazy. They benefit from a change in routine, but are reluctant to leave campus. We encourage guests to attend our "Guests Night In" or get out and about with a "GNO" if available.
​
We cater in and may explore neighborhood restaurants and other venues, with costs covered by the Friends. More important than the food, guests appreciate the opportunity to share stories and receive support from each other; to 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! 

​Donut Friday may be an exception to the healthy rule, but our guest love it! Everyone enjoys a donut now and then!

​Guest Mylean put it simply, "I never thought I would be given a gift like this."
