"Our mission ensures no military family faces medical crises alone or unsupported," noted Hilary Zappin, Executive Director, CFRE, LLM. "Legacy gifts keep these doors open."

LONG BEACH, CA, September 01, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fisher House Southern California continues to address the ongoing needs of military members, veterans, and their families during medical crises by offering temporary housing options near major military and VA medical centers. Through its dedicated Legacy Giving Society program, the non-profit organization gives supporters a framework to include long-term contributions in their estate plans, ensuring these vital accommodations remain available for future generations.

While many assume government assistance covers all expenses when a service member is hospitalized, military families frequently encounter substantial lodging and food costs during treatment. Fisher House Southern California helps eliminate these financial burdens by providing a cost-free "home away from home" near treatment facilities. By establishing options such as bequests, living trusts, and retirement plan designations, community members can play a direct role in maintaining this critical safety net.

Detailed information on estate planning options, program specifics, and ways to support military families during medical emergencies is available through the organization's full online resource. Visit Fisher House Southern California's Legacy Giving.
