The Fisher House
The Richmond (VA) Chapter, The Links, Incorporated hosted a dinner for the residents and their military spouses of the Richmond, Virginia McGuire Veteran’s Fisher House. The occasion recognized the heroism and sacrifices of our countries military and their families. The Richmond (VA) Chapter provides donations from our Biennial Art in the Atrium Auction and Dinner fundraiser that will be held this year at The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
For the past six years, The Richmond, (VA) Chapter, The Links, Incorporated has made Fisher House a beneficiary of their biennial fundraising efforts to continue to support and enhance the quality of life for injured members of the U.S. military. The total contributions from this Chapter to the Fisher House Foundation represent more than Twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) to date.
The Richmond Fisher House is one of 65 residences located on major military installations and VA medical centers across the United States. They represent a network of comfort homes nationwide where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving medical treatment. Since their creation, Fisher Houses across the United States have served more than 19,000 military families per year. While the homes have been created with a grant from the Fisher House Foundation, they are dependent upon the generosity and donations of individuals and the local community to support and maintain Fisher House activities. The Richmond (VA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated are proud to support the incredible work of the Fisher House.
