Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program, located in Owings Mills, MD, provides crucial cash grants to minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members. Designed to support families facing economic hardship, these grants of up to $1,500 help ensure that children can maintain a stable living environment by covering essential needs such as shelter, food, utilities, and health expenses. To qualify, a thorough investigation is conducted to confirm legitimate family needs, and applicants must demonstrate they have exhausted all other available resources. This compassionate program emphasizes the significance of community and support, making it accessible through local chapters to ensure that aid reaches those who require it most.
