Join the Meal Train: Nourishing Military & Veteran Families
For families staying at Fisher House Wisconsin, the days can be long and emotionally exhausting as they support loved ones receiving critical care. Preparing meals often becomes an afterthought, which is where the Meal Train steps in to provide comfort and care. By preparing a homemade meal, catering, or using the Fisher House kitchen to cook breakfast, lunch, or dinner, community members can offer families the relief of coming home to a warm, nourishing meal after a stressful day.
This simple act of kindness not only lightens their load but shows families that they are not alone. Whether it’s a team-building activity for coworkers, a meaningful family event, or a way for friends to give back, the Meal Train is a chance to make a real difference. Right now, Fisher House Wisconsin is seeking volunteers Monday through Thursday to provide meals. Together, we can turn every meal into a message of hope and support for those who serve our country, sign up below!
We’re thrilled to introduce our Panera End of Day Dough-Nation Pick-Up Program—a simple yet impactful way to support Fisher House Wisconsin! Every Monday night at 8:45 PM, volunteers pick up unsold bread, bagels, and pastries from Panera at 15040 W Greenfield Ave, Brookfield, WI 53005. These delicious donations are then delivered to the Milwaukee VA Fisher House the following morning, providing comfort and nourishment to families in need.
This is a flexible and rewarding opportunity for individuals or families to make a difference in the lives of military and veteran families. Whether you sign up once or make it a regular commitment, your time and effort will directly impact those we serve. Join us in delivering care, one pick-up at a time!
