LONG BEACH, CA, November 03, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fisher House Southern California has announced the launch of its annual Veterans Day Giving campaign, encouraging community support for active-duty military members, veterans, and their families undergoing medical treatment. Fisher Houses provide a "home away from home" for patients and their families receiving medical care at military and VA medical centers.

While the homes are normally within walking distance of the treatment facility and offer nearby transportation, several facilities in Southern California do not have adjacent Fisher Houses. For our veterans and active military receiving treatment at these locations, Fisher House So Cal arranges and offers lodging for their families at the nearest hotel, as long as eligibility requirements are met.

When a service member or veteran requires specialized medical treatment, families often face significant out-of-pocket costs for lodging, transportation, and daily essentials. Fisher House Southern California addresses these difficulties by coordinating and providing temporary housing arrangements near major regional medical centers, ensuring families can remain close to their loved ones without financial strain.

Through this year's campaign, public contributions directly fund lodging and support services across Southern California facilities. Additionally, donations made prior to year end can be doubled, thanks to the Larry and Helen Hoag Foundation which will match every gift through December 31, 2026, up to $50,000.

To learn more about the campaign and see full stories of the families served, visit Fisher House Southern California's Veterans Day Giving page.
