Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Abingdon, MD, is dedicated to providing critical cash grants to the minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members. Our mission is to ensure that families facing financial hardships can maintain stability and support for their children. The TFA program offers one-time, non-repayable grants of up to $1,500 to help cover essential needs such as shelter, food, utilities, and health expenses. Eligibility requires a thorough evaluation at the local post or department level to confirm legitimate family needs, ensuring that all resources have been thoroughly explored. We pride ourselves on delivering practical assistance with compassion, making a tangible difference in the lives of veterans' families in need.
