UP FOR MILITARY FAMILIES

Make an Impact

Your gift provides emergency financial assistance to military and Veteran families facing a financial crisis. STEP is determined to help these families achieve a lifetime of financial self-sufficiency through emergency grants, financial counseling, education, and
secondary programs.

Your donation helps stop evictions, utility disconnections, car repossessions, food insecurity and more.

As long as our service-members are putting their lives on the line to protect us, we must be there for them.
