Need help with college tuition? Or car repairs? Emergency travel? Are you out of diapers, cash and food? Having a baby? Need a financial review? Need a nurse? Want to keep things confidential? If you answered yes to ANY of the above questions, then I have the place for you—Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. They can help with Emergency Transportation, Funeral Expenses, Medical/dental Bills (patient's share), Food, Rent, and Utilities, Disaster Relief Assistance, Child Care Expenses, Essential Vehicle Repairs and Unforeseen Family Emergencies. NMCRS 's education programs help eligible Navy and Marine Corps families pursue their academic goals by providing a source of education financing. Awards are provided solely on the basis of the applicant's financial need, in accordance with policies established by the Society's Board of Directors.
Need help with finances? NMCRS can help servicemembers and their families review and understand their monthly budget and make recommendations for improvements. If help is needed in a monetary fashion, when the servicemember can afford to repay, financial assistance is provided as an interest-free loan, which is normally repaid by allotment. If repayment would cause a hardship, assistance may be provided as a grant or a combination of grant and interest-free loan. NMCRS does not, however, assist with the purchase of non-essentials, nor does it supplement the income of persons who live beyond their means.
Need food help NOW? NMCRS office may issue you a check to the local commissary.
Need a nurse? The Visiting Nurse program attempts to identify and meet needs not being met by other military or civilian programs in the area. The main function of the Visiting Nurse is to provide health education and information about health-related resources. They also make home visits to new moms and those recovering from surgery, when warranted.
Having or have had a baby? The Layette program, run entirely by Volunteers, is designed to help new, or prospective, parents learn about the impact that a new baby can have on the financial situation of the family unit. Through a program of preventive education, clients learn about variations in pay and increased expenses, common consumer pressures targeted to new parents, and entitlements available through both government and private sources.The Layette (also known as a Junior Seabag) is issued to any eligible recipient who has recently had a baby or whose child will be born within six months. It consists of a coordinated set of bedding and clothing, a baby book, and a handmade item (either sweater set, afghan or quilt), packed in a tote or duffel bag. Layettes will be given to recipients after they attend a "Budget for Baby" class or complete an individual budget session with a Society caseworker.
