Customers at Kmart and Sears stores can donate to the Fisher House Foundation from Friday to Sunday, in a “Have a Heart for Military Families” initiative.
The Fisher House Foundation has built 37 comfort homes near military or veterans’ medical facilities since 1990. Those Fisher Houses provided lodging to more than 10,000 service members and their families in 2006, said David Coker, president of the Fisher House Foundation, in a statement announcing the donations.
“We plan to build 21 additional Fisher Houses, primarily to assist combat casualties and their families, so the support from Sears, Kmart and their customers is timely and needed,” he said.
Customers can either donate at their stores, or online at www.sears.com or www.kmart.com.
As always, donations can be made directly to the Fisher House Foundation through its Web site at www.fisherhouse.org.
