National Military Services (formerly MAP)

From adopting military units to "Operation Uplink" telephone cards to donating needed equipment via the VFW Foundation, the Veterans of Foreign Wars strives to enhance the quality of life for members of the armed forces and their families worldwide by identifying critical needs and providing emergency financial aid. Established more than three years ago, the VFW's National Military Services is a quality of life initiative that focuses on easing the financial emergencies of deploying service members and supporting them and their family through the hardships of deployment. NMS also provides one time grants up to $500 to service members needing emergency financial assistance. In addition, NMS has forged partnerships with various service providers, aimed at providing the transitioning service member with relocation and employment assistance.
