Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Elkridge, MD, is dedicated to supporting the minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members by providing cash grants to families in need. By offering this assistance, we aim to enhance the stability of children’s lives through support for basic necessities such as shelter, food, utilities, and health expenses. Eligible families may receive a one-time, non-repayable grant of up to $1,500, ensuring that help reaches those who need it most. Our thorough eligibility process guarantees that we assess each family's legitimate needs while ensuring that all other resources have been explored. To access TFA, applicants must work with their local post, where the application process is conducted with care and attention.
