The American Legion’s Children & Youth pillar is guided by three main objectives: strengthen the family unit, support organizations that help children in need, and provide communities with well-rounded programs to provide hope and opportunity for young people facing difficult challenges.

One program within this pillar is Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA). This program is specifically designed vicemembers or eligible American Legion members through cash grants, which contribute to a stable home environment. These grants help families meet the costs of shelter, utilities, food and medical expenses. The Legion provides more than $500,000 to help these families each year. http://www.legion.org/tfa
