Armed Services Committee Fisher House Project

A major project of the NFRW Armed Services Committee is to donate money for the construction of an additional Fisher House at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Fisher Houses across the country and overseas are built to house the families of service men and women who have been severely wounded or ill and separated from their families. The Fisher Houses provide a home away from home. The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. In the future more detailed information will be provided through the NFRW web site.

For all Clubs within all fifty states to participate, the Armed Services Committee has provided a voucher form with instructions on how the donated monies are to be transmitted to the Fisher House Foundation. By using this voucher, credit can be given to the individual clubs and their state, and individual donors and their state. Clubs can accept money from any source beyond club members for this important work for our military. All checks transmitting the money must be made out to the Fisher House Foundation. The voucher form may be obtained on the NFRW web site. All instructrions are included on the NFRW Armed Services Committee Donation Collection Voucher. The Fisher House Foundation is a not-for-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, and donations are tax deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.
