CHICAGO, July 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Combined Insurance employees participated in a volunteer activity at the Fisher House in Hines, Ill., for the second year.

A team of 16 employees performed gardening duties and helped clean and beautify the grounds, which serve as a 'home away from home' for family members, caregiver or loved ones of patients who are receiving medical care at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital.

"Combined Insurance actively seeks out opportunities to help the military community and its veterans," said Bob Wiedower, Vice President of Sales Development and Military Programs at Combined Insurance. "After spending 22 years as a Marine Corps Officer, I recognize the value and importance of the Hines Fisher House, an organization that helps military families every year by providing a place where they can feel safe and welcome during difficult times. I am honored to volunteer my time to such an outstanding organization."

Founded in 1990 by Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher, The Fisher House Foundation provides temporary residence for the families and loved ones of wounded military and veterans who receive treatment at VA medical centers.

"We are very fortunate that the community has embraced our home, and continually donate both money and time to help with its upkeep. But, in order to provide the level of service that we need to for our military families, it is important that organizations like Combined Insurance continue to step up and contribute, whether it's through volunteering their time, financial donations or in-kind support. We want the Fisher House to be a 'home away from home' for our guests, and having a beautiful landscape and garden is a big part of that," says Holly Wright, Manager, Hines Fisher House.
