Through our partnership with Navy Federal Credit Union , Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society provided $2,000 to cover overdue rent, helping stabilize the family during a critical moment.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. For many veterans and military families, discussing mental health isn’t a one-time conversation. It shows up in the quiet moments. During transitions. After service ends. In the space between “I’m fine” and asking for help. With so much uncertainty in the world those challenges can feel even heavier.

According to our latest Got Your 6 Network survey more than 80% of our partners report that veterans and military families are experiencing significant mental and physical health challenge. Nearly two-thirds say there aren’t enough mental health resources to meet the need.

Support has to be consistent, accessible, and rooted in trust. We fund community-based organizations that are expanding access to care, reducing stigma, and meeting people where they are. Not just in moments of crisis, but in the day-to-day reality of navigating life after service.

May is Military Appreciation Month. At a time when conflict around the world continues to make headlines, the reality of military service feels closer to home for many of us. Behind every headline are service members stepping into uncertainty and families carrying that weight right alongside them. When that service ends the challenges don’t always stop. Transitioning home can mean navigating mental health, financial strain, and the loss of a built-in community. It’s a shift that requires ongoing support.

We invest in organizations across the country that are meeting these needs every day. is a moment to recognize service. What matters most is how we continue to show up after.
