Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Odenton, MD, is dedicated to providing crucial support to minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members. Our mission is to help families maintain a stable environment by offering cash grants, which can be used for essential needs such as shelter, food, utilities, and healthcare expenses. Eligible families can receive a one-time non-repayable grant of up to $1,500 for their minor children. To ensure fairness and effective use of resources, each application is thoroughly investigated at the local post or department level, confirming legitimate family needs and exhausting all other assistance options. We are committed to serving those who have served our country, helping them build a secure future for their children.
