Financial Assistance and Counseling

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, located in Lakeland, FL, is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance and counseling to active duty and retired Sailors and Marines facing a variety of financial challenges. Our mission is to support military families through grants for essential needs such as food, housing, utilities, and healthcare. We offer crucial financial education and help with expenses related to establishing new residences—covering security deposits, utility set-up, and essential home repairs. Additionally, we address transportation costs, medical expenses, funeral support, and can help navigate pay shortages or delayed entitlements. With a focus on practical assistance and empowering service members, we strive to enhance the financial well-being of those who have served our nation.
