I have many friends and family who are actively serving or have proudly served our country in the Marine Corps, Army, Navy and Air Force. I am in awe of their sacrifice and devotion to our freedom on a daily basis. For week 30 of the Kindness Countdown I reached out to some of them to ask what the best way to honor their sacrifices would be...and they directed me to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.
The donation that I made will help the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society's efforts to provide (free or interest-free) financial assistance and education to military members and their family members, widows and survivors.
The main goal of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is "to help each person who comes to us get support for their immediate needs." Their long-term mission is "to help Sailors and Marines become financially self-sufficient by learning how to better manage their personal finances and prepare for unplanned expenses."
Services provided by the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society include:
- Financial Assistance and Counseling
- Quick Assist Loans
- Education Assistance
- Health Education and Post-Combat Support
- Budget for Baby classes
- Emergency Travel
- Disaster Relief
"America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for the cause as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed." - Allen Boyd
