We're here to help

Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society provides several programs and services to assist active duty and retired Sailors, Marines and their families in financial need.

How we help

Quick Assist Loans®

Quick Assist Loans help when you're in a pinch and need a small amount of financial assistance, fast. Active duty Sailors and Marines are eligible for an interest-free loan for up to $1,000.

Emergency Travel

If you’re approved for emergency leave and need the money to travel, we can help you with an interest-free loan.

Visiting Nurses

The Society's Visiting Nurse Program has been supporting active duty and retired Navy and Marine Corps families since 1922. Our nurses provide health education and resource referral to promote health maintenance and continuity of care throughout the lifespan.

Financial Assistance

Financial assistance means greater security when you need it. The Society offers a range of financial service options to get you back on your feet and ensure you stay there.

Education Assistance

The NMCRS Education Assistance Program is designed to help eligible Navy and Marine Corps families pursue their academic goals by providing scholarships and interest-free loans. Awards are provided based on the applicant's financial need, and in accordance with policies established by the Society's Board of Directors.

Budget for Baby®

Expecting a baby is an exciting time for a family! Learn how to prepare financially for a new family member with a free workshop.

Thrift Shops

Visit our thrift shops to purchase gently used clothing, uniforms, and household goods at affordable prices.

Disaster Relief

Hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, and floods can have an unexpected impact on Sea Service families. NMCRS stands ready to help when a natural or human-made incident occurs.

We provide consistent, compassionate, and nonjudgmental service thanks to our network of dedicated volunteers.

Since our founding, volunteers have been the backbone of Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. They make up about 95 percent of our workforce. Volunteers make it possible for our donated funds to directly assist Sailors, Marines, and their families.

We’re committed to being good stewards of the generous gifts given to support the Navy and Marine Corps community.

Gifts provide service members with urgent financial assistance, home visits and telehealth options from our Visiting Nurses, and so much more.

NMCRS programs are funded by charitable donations. We do not receive any funding from the Department of Defense.
