Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance

Operation Homefront assists military families coping with deployment and injury recovery as they struggle with devastating budget issues.  Financial struggles exacerbate an already difficult time of life. We provide emergency financial assistance to service members and their families as they take corrective action to resolve their financial situations.

We cover:
  • Shelter, rent, mortgage, utilities, temporary lodging
  • Vehicle expenses, car payments, car insurance, registration (only when it is the family's only means of transportation)
  • Airfare to transport a family member to assist a military family during illness or for childbirth
  • Childcare during illness or surgery
  • Personal Property Taxes
  • Emergency dental expenses
  • Critical baby items
  • Other emergency financial needs
We do not cover:
  • Airfare for vacations, R&R or to meet deployed service members in foreign ports
  • Plastic surgery or other non-emergency procedures
  • Immigration assistance
  • Legal fees or bills
  • Credit card payments
  • Cable/Internet bills
  • Tuition and school fees
Even Heroes Need Some Help
Our service members and their families are heroes to us. Some are everyday heroes and some are uncommon ones. Most would not consider themselves heroes, rather they tell us they were just doing their job. Doing their job, means preserving our freedom. Please help us, continue to help them. To learn more about our programs and to find out how you can help, please contact our national office or your local Operation Homefront office.
