Counseling, loans, grants, various services and referrals to other community resources are available. There are no fees for these services.

The Society, operating in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, administers nearly 250 offices ashore and afloat at Navy and Marine Corps bases around the world.

Our trained caseworkers are familiar with the special conditions of service life. They have a realistic understanding of the potential hardships facing service members and their families.

• Eligible family members of the personnel listed above
• Eligible family members of Navy and Marine Corps personnel who died on active duty or in retired status

The Society does not:

• Pay bills for nonessentials
