HANSCOM AFB, Mass.–Employees from Hanscom Federal Credit Union volunteered at Fisher House Boston to prepare a meal for military family guests. Fisher House Boston, located at the VA Boston Healthcare System, West Roxbury Campus, provides no-charge accommodation to family members caring for hospitalized U.S. veterans.
“The families at Fisher House and their loved ones in the VA’s healthcare system have made tremendous sacrifices for our country,” said Hanscom FCU Chairman of the Board Paul Marotta.
“Preparing a meal for them is a great honor for me, as well as our team, and something we look forward to doing regularly.”
Hanscom FCU has a branch at the West Roxbury facility and has supported Fisher House Boston since 2010, when the facility opened. Marotta, along with employees from Hanscom FCU, visit four times every year to prepare dinner for its guests.

In addition, on behalf of the Armed Forces Financial Network (AFFN), Hanscom FCU also presented a $1,500 check to Fisher House Boston. The check matched a Board Memorial Award given to Fisher House in December 2017 by Hanscom FCU.
“It’s in our credit union’s DNA to support military families during their times of need,” said Marotta. “Fisher House Boston gives the loved ones of veterans and active duty personnel a place that feels as much like home as it can. We are grateful to AFFN that they’ve enabled us to double our support of this valuable resource for military families.”
