Description
Founded in 1904, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is a private, non-profit charitable organization. We exist solely to support the active and retired communities of the Naval Services. The Society's principal activity is the disbursement of interest-free loans and grants. It also provides visiting nurse services, thrift shops, infant layettes, budget counseling services, educational scholarships, and loans. Located at approximately 250 offices ashore and afloat throughout the world, the Society's work is accomplished mainly by its 3,600 dedicated, trained, and caring Volunteers who are supported by a small cadre of employees.
