Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Aberdeen, MD, is dedicated to providing vital cash grants to the minor children of active duty members and American Legion members. Our mission is to foster stability for families in need by assisting with essential expenses such as shelter, food, utilities, and health care costs. Eligible families may receive a one-time, non-repayable grant of up to $1,500, ensuring children have the support they need during challenging times. We conduct thorough investigations at the local post level to confirm legitimate family need and ensure all other assistance avenues have been explored. To apply for TFA, interested parties must work with our local representatives, who are ready to provide compassionate support and guidance throughout the process.
