Navy Marine Corps Relief Society launches Active Duty Fund Drive
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – The Navy Marine Corps Relief Society kicked off its Active Duty Fund Drive Friday morning. The program will allow for sailors and marines to take out loans at 0% interest for either emergency expenses or in times of financial struggle. 'Essentially loan them money that other service member has donated selflessly to help them out of that financial hardship,' Richard O'Rawe, Director of Norfolk Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. 'And then, you know, as they repay us, we're helping the next sailor or marine that walks in the door that has a financial need.' This year, the fundraising goal is set to $1 million, which is a bout a 330% increase from 2024. 'Put that million dollar goal in perspective, that's $5 from each of you,' Adm. Daryl Caudle, Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces said. 'And so, if you just donate $5 and contribute, that will crush our goal this year.' To reach the goal, active duty members are being asked to consider donating a portion of their paycheck, but anyone is able to donate to the Navy Marina Corps Relief Society.
