Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) is an American non-profit organization that was founded in 1904. The society was created "to provide, in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, financial, educational, and other assistance to members of the Naval Services of the United States, eligible family members, and survivors when in need; and to receive and manage funds to administer these programs."

NMCRS is the oldest of the military aid societies.

NMCRS makes interest-free loans to cover basic living expenses including utilities, housing and food. It also distributes funds for funeral costs, car repairs, insurance, medical bills, and other expenses.
