Many residents of Southern California -- including tens of thousands of servicemembers, veterans, and service-connected families -- will face incredible challenges in the coming weeks, months, and years as they rebuild from the ongoing wildfires.

MOAA's Crisis Relief Program offers emergency financial assistance for service-connected households. Currently serving personnel and their spouses, veterans, surviving spouses, and military and veteran caregivers can apply for this aid, which is open to all ranks and branches of uniformed service. Aid can be used to cover housing and automobile costs, utilities, and other bills connected to financial emergencies.

"Uniformed servicemembers, veterans, and their families work hard everyday to protect our great nation, and we here at MOAA are dedicated to working hard to protect them," MOAA President and CEO Lt. Gen. Brian T. Kelly, USAF (Ret), said in a recent video supporting the Crisis Relief Program.

Last year, The MOAA Foundation experienced record-setting grant disbursements totaling nearly $500,000, with more than half of the grants supporting hurricane relief. We hope to continue to provide relief efforts for those in California but can't do so without continued support from MOAA members and other donors.
