Support us in keeping loved ones together during medical care.
First and foremost,
thank you
Thank you for your gift of time today. The Fisher House Foundation builds comfort homes where military & veteran families can stay free of charge while a loved one is in the hospital. Now, it’s our chance to support them!
The Goal: To learn about the goals and impact of each nonprofit we support and immerse ourselves in these families' situations. We’re also packing food and hygiene items and notes of inspiration for those who truly need them.
Instructions
We work to keep things as simple as possible. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your event coordinator or reach out to “Kai” (WeHero Super Dog) in the lower-right corner of this page.

Step 1: Decorate your bags
We’ve provided three markers to decorate the outside of your organic cotton hygiene bags. Leave words of encouragement or quotes, or draw a picture or design. We can’t wait to see what you create!
Note: The markers will bleed through the cotton bag, so when using them, please put a couple of sheets of paper inside to avoid unwanted stains.
Step 2: Add all the items to each bag
You will be making three packs for this event—the inventory below lists the quantity of each item in the organic cotton drawstring bags. Please leave the markers out of the bag. They're yours to keep!
Note: If you feel an item is missing, please leave a message inside the box for the staff. If you have any extra versions of some items, please keep them in the box for the return shipment.

Step 3: Letter writing
Use the provided notepaper to write a letter to your recipients. Put one completed note inside each hygiene bag. This letter is one of the most important parts of your gift. Please take the time to leave sincere thoughts.

Step 4: Re-box and apply the shipping label
Using the original box everything came in, add the completed packs, and reseal the box. Attach the prepaid shipping label and schedule your USPS pickup. You can also drop your box off at your local post office. To schedule your pickup, simply use the following link and follow the steps: www.wehero.co/pick-up/
Note: If the system asks for weight, you can enter 6 pounds and the shipping provider will update the weight automatically.
Step 5: Photo time
Take a photo of yourself with your completed packs and share the experience with your friends and family. Use the opportunity to spread awareness and share this act of kindness. Be sure to tag WeHero when you post on social media!

Recycling is hard so we made this resource list to make it easier!
We build our volunteer events to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Whether it is offsetting the carbon emissions of the shipping process, using recycled cardboard for the boxes, or relying on algae based dyes, we’ve made conscious steps to ensure we’re doing right for our world.
How we offset our carbon footprint
We have partnered with Cool Effect on The Mare Chicose landfill project in Mauritius to reduce methane emissions, generate electricity, create jobs, and promote sustainable development. Investing in the project helps reduce our carbon footprint and support global climate change mitigation.
