PROJECT: VetRelief was launched in 2014 as a way for the American Legion's Department of Florida to provide three main areas of support for veterans and their families — emergency assistance, benefits support and community engagement. The program is available to the 1.6 million veterans living in Florida at no cost to them. When assistance is needed, one of the more than 200 Legionnaires who serve as VetRelief advocates immediately respond by making a personal visit and providing support where needed. Eligible veterans can receive financial assistance for housing, food, utilities and more; apply for and access benefits earned; and learn of resources for reintegrating into the community. For more information, visit the PROJECT: VetRelief website.
