The VFW's Unmet Needs program helps America's active-duty service members (to include activated Guard/Reserve members) and their families who have run into unexpected financial difficulties because of deployment or other military-related activity or injury. The program provides financial assistance up to $2,500 to assist daily necessities in the form of a grant – not a loan – so no repayment is required. To further ease the burden, we pay the creditor(s) directly. The needs of our active-duty service members (to include activated Guard/Reserve members) and their families should never go unmet. Let us offer you a hand-up when you need it! Eligibility requirements and application can be found at: VFW Financial Grants
