National Guard Relief Foundation

OUR MISSION

The National Guard stands ready to protect American citizens—responding to natural disasters, national emergencies, and every crisis in between. Yet too often, these dedicated men and women find themselves without the safety net they deserve when personal hardship strikes.

The We Care for America Foundation doing business as the National Guard Relief Foundation. proudly steps in to bridge that gap, providing emergency financial relief and essential resources to Guard members and their families across all 50 states and U.S. territories.

Through our Soldier and Airman Relief Grants for Emergencies (SARGE) and Interest-Free Loans, we deliver fast, compassionate assistance to those who sacrifice so much for our nation.

Together, we ensure that those who serve are never left behind when they need support the most.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Your support makes the difference between hardship and hope.

Every donation to the National Guard Relief Foundation directly aids Guard Soldiers, Airmen, and families facing emergencies—keeping roofs over their heads, lights on in their homes, and food on their tables.

By contributing, you join a nationwide effort to honor their service with action. Your tax-deductible gift empowers us to respond quickly to emergencies and sustain our programs year-round.

Together, we make sure those who protect us are never left unprotected.

“My Family received the maximum amount from the EANGUS grant. We were able to get into an apartment after fire destroyed our home on Christmas Day. Thank you so much to the EANGUS “We Care for America” Foundation. We are extremely grateful for the support.”

“When I deployed in February 2010 for my fourth tour to Iraq, my wife and our two children (ages 14 and 11) remained in Abington. Prior to the deployment, we were on and off orders several times, which disrupted my civilian job and our family finances. With the assistance of the Massachusetts National Guard Office of Family Programs, we applied for the EANGUS WCFA Grant and used the funds to keep our home heated and functioning during the harsh Massachusetts winter. Knowing that there is support for National Guard families is a great thing!”

“When our home was destroyed by fire, we lost everything we owned. Fortunately, we were not home at the time. The Kansas Office of Family Programs assisted us the day after the fire and we applied for the EANGUS WCFA Grant. It was easy to apply for, and we are extremely grateful for the funds that helped us pay for unforeseen expenses.”
