    Assist Military and Veteran Families Navigating Government Shutdown Impact

    The government has reopened, but military and veteran families are still feeling the impact of the government shutdown. The disruption of essential services, furloughed government employees and the stress of not knowing how they will make ends meet, is driving veteran and military families to Operation Homefront's Critical Financial Assistance Program in record numbers. In October and November 2025, we have seen 203% increase in applications for CFA assistance year over year, and we need your help to meet the growing need, now more than ever. Your donation today will go directly to provide urgent financial assistance to offset the impacts of the shutdown including rent, utilities, food, and healthcare costs. We are anticipating the need to be even greater through the holidays. Please give as generously as you can today to help meet this need!
