Volunteers are truly the heart of the organization, providing an invaluable service to our staff and guests. The Rocky Mountain Regional VA Fisher House is fortunate to benefit from the time and talent of our local community. We can support corporate groups, scout projects, students needing volunteer time for graduation or individuals wanting to help out in the community; whatever you reason, our house would be happy to find the right volunteer fit.

Guidelines For Providing A Meal:

Contact the house to schedule a day that works best and work with staff to develop a menu.
Most volunteer groups are between 4-8 people. Sometimes there are only a few house guests present, therefore smaller groups are better. The group or individual signed-up to provide a meal must provide all of the food for the meal.
We do not judge the success of a meal based on the number of guests present. Guests who do not attend are aware of leftovers in the fridge.
Everyone participates in clean up.
Guests will be notified about meals or events through a variety of in-house communications.
If you have not provided a meal before please contact the Fisher House Team for a brief orientation of the kitchen and the meal process.

Volunteer activities occur during staffed business house. Please contact us to get more information about all the opportunities at the Fisher House.
