HANSCOM AFB, Mass.–Hanscom Federal Credit Union recently donated $1,000 worth of American Express Gift Cheques to the VA Boston Healthcare System Fisher House in West Roxbury, Mass. The donation matched a recent donation by the Armed Forces Financial Network (AFFN) made through its Thank You Card Program. The $50 gift cheques will be given to military families to help them with care, comfort, and food while they’re staying at Fisher House.
Fisher House provides military families with safe, comfortable lodging at no charge while their family member receives medical treatment through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
“We want to assist military families through a traumatic experience,” said Paul Marotta, Hanscom FCU’s chairman of the board. “Fisher House offers military family members a home away from home at no cost so they don’t have to worry about paying hotel bills. We’re pleased to join with AFFN in support of a critical resource for military families in crisis.”
