Delivering Smiles and Hope to Patients at the Veterans Administration Palo Alto Health Care System
The Veterans Memorial and Support Foundation proudly supports the needs of the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System.
Each quarter, the VA Volunteer Service distributes a list of departmental needs so community organizations can provide meaningful support. In the past month alone, our Foundation responded to four of these requests and also hosted a pizza luncheon in November to bring comfort and connection to veterans and their families.
Fisher Houses – Palo Alto
The Fisher Houses at the Palo Alto VA provide housing for families of veterans receiving medical care. Because there are no nearby grocery stores within easy reach, obtaining meals can be challenging for families staying there.
In November, our Foundation delivered six large pizzas for the families — a simple gesture that was warmly received. We were grateful for the opportunity to visit, share conversations, and hear their heartfelt appreciation.
Additionally, we recently presented a $1,000 donation to the Fisher Houses to help restock their refrigerators and provide ongoing support for visiting families.
These efforts are made possible through the generous support of donors Polly Hillis Scalora and Anita & Kevan Del Grande. Their contributions allow us to respond quickly and directly to the evolving needs of our veterans and their families.
