Hanscom AFB, MA (April 13, 2018) – Employees from Hanscom Federal Credit Union volunteered at Fisher House Boston on April 10, 2018, 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.”
