    Assist Military and Veteran Families Navigating Government Shutdown

    Military and veteran families are struggling with the impacts of the government shutdown. The disruption of essential services is driving veteran and military families to Operation Homefront's Critical Financial Assistance Program in record numbers. We have already seen a 39% increase in requests for CFA services so far this year and are seeing increased need from veterans in government jobs who are furloughed and struggling to make ends meet. We need your help to meet the growing needs of our veteran and military families, now more than ever. Your donation today will go directly to provide urgent financial assistance to offset the impacts of the shutdown including; rent, utility food, and healthcare costs for veterans in government jobs who haven't been paid; childcare costs for military parents who must go to work even though their on-base childcare center is closed.
