Support Military Personnel Fund

About

On January 19th, 2018 at midnight the US government shut down. This shutdown affects many populations, but most notably the impact on troops and civilian personnel who work in operations that are considered essential is pronounced. Military personnel are required to work without pay during the government shutdown, even though they have bills to pay and families to feed. Bright Funds has established the Support Military Personnel Fund, in solidarity with the people who work hard to protect our country.

Fisher House Foundation

Despite the shutdown, our military continues to serve and we must ensure that their families are also taken care of. It is not just families of the fallen that will be impacted, but also families of our wounded, injured and Ill service members. Fisher House stands ready to respond on behalf of a grateful Nation, and because of our generous donors.

NMCRS offices will be open normal hours to assist those families who are experiencing immediate needs related to loss income from the shutdown and will continue to assist until the issue is resolved.
