Delta is supporting veterans, active service members, and their families by matching member-donated miles through the Delta SkyWish Program to Fisher House Foundation’s Hero Miles program and Luke's W​ings throughout November.

For the ninth year, Delta will match donations up to an aggregate total of 10 million miles donated to these two organizations through SkyWish, the charitable arm of the SkyMiles Program.  Learn more about SkyWish and how to donate miles to these two organizations at delta.com/veterans​.

Veterans Day is Nov. 11, and November is National Veterans and Military Families Month.

Fisher House Foundation's Hero Miles program and Luke's Wings use donated miles to provide air travel to wounded, injured or ill service members and veterans, as well as their families, while they undergo treatment and recovery.

"Delta is proud to once again partner with our customers to give back to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for others," said Tad Hutcheson, Managing Director – Community Engagement. "Through this partnership, we are able to aid in the healing process by connecting injured veterans and service members with their loved ones at the time they need it most."

Saving military and veteran families more than $575 million since inception, Fisher House Foundation provides "a home away from home" for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers, hosting them at no cost at one of the 96 Fisher Houses throughout the U.S. and Europe. Delta has supported the construction of the VA Long Beach Fisher House in California, a Fisher House at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Seattle, and two homes at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in New York.

Since its inception in 2008, Luke's Wings has provided complimentary airfare to wounded, ill and injured service members, veterans and their loved ones throughout recovery and rehabilitation. Luke’s Wings plays a vital role in connecting military families on their journey to recovery, ensuring no emergency or long-term travel costs stand in between our heroes, their loved ones and the care they need. With over 16,000 flights provided to date, Luke’s Wings has a goal of providing another 2,000 in 2023 alone, bringing mental, emotional, physical and financial support to ensure our wounded service members and their families can navigate recovery and rehabilitation together.
