United Rentals is proud to partner with Fisher House

Fisher houses, which dot the country, aren’t your typical homes. They are refuges where military families can stay, free of charge, while their service member or veteran is receiving medical treatment for an injury, illness or disease at a nearby major military or VA medical center.

“It provides them a comfortable place to go back to at the end of a day that might be a tough day — or maybe it’s a good day — but it’s a day when a little bit of trauma’s going on in their life, and we try to make it a little easier on the families,” said Steve Kuykendall, president and CEO of Fisher House Southern California.

The homes benefit the families — saving them hotel and transportation costs, for instance — but also the service member or veteran. As a Fisher House Foundation motto goes, “a family’s love is good medicine.”

Families enjoy private bedrooms and baths, a common kitchen, living room, dining room and laundry facility and something else: an instant community of other military families facing similar struggles.

United Rentals has donated hundreds of pieces of equipment for the construction of 11 Fisher Houses (and counting) since 2015 in places ranging from Tucson, Arizona, to Orlando, Florida, to Houston, Texas, and Long Beach, California. Averaging 12,000 square feet, the houses take from 8 to 12 months to build.

For United Rentals, partnering with Fisher House Foundation just made sense.

“Fisher House is a great organization that shares our passion for helping veterans. So donating equipment to build Fisher Houses is a natural for us,” said Tim Rule, vice president of market development for United Rentals.

The company’s involvement doesn’t end at providing backhoes and excavators, however. Countless volunteers have put in thousands of hours sprucing up the landscapes, building playgrounds and in one case even donating and hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for the families. Employees have also raised more than $30,000 in donated funds through events such as customer golf and fishing outings.

“It’s really our employees, stepping up to make a difference by volunteering at their local Fisher Houses, or other great causes in the community, who are the face of giving back at United Rentals,” said Rule.

Service to Employment Program

United Rentals partnered with Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS) in 2013 to create our Service to Employment Program (STEP). STEP is a unique work-study program to help veterans transition back into working life. It offers 10 weeks of in-class and hands-on training, where veterans learn technical and social skills, meet with our leaders and experience what it’s like to work at our branches.
