Friends of Fisher House Illinois (FOFH-IL) is dedicated to financial, volunteer, and emotional support for Illinois Fisher Houses built through the Fisher House Foundation's mission to support America's military in their time of need. Fisher Houses are “homes away from home" that enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time – during hospitalization for an illness, disease, or injury. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and their families and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. We now sustain Hines Fisher House and will sustain Lovell Fisher House, North Chicago soon.
