End Veteran Suicide

Our Story

Providing a Legion of Support

PROJECT: VetRelief, an official program of The American Legion, Department of Florida, empowers veterans to thrive in civilian life. We tackle a critical challenge: 29% of Florida veterans struggle financially despite working hard—often having multiple jobs. These ALICE veterans (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) earn too much for poverty assistance but too little for stability. One financial crisis threatens everything. 

We empower veterans with dignity, transforming struggle into stability and ensuring they achieve the security they've earned.

Real Stories, Real Impact

“Not only did they come to my aid when no one else would, but also gave me some amazing advice and invaluable information, but provided me with patience and understanding during an already difficult time.”
Wife of US Army Veteran
“I wanted to express my appreciation for helping with my utility bill – it relieved some financial stress my family and I were under. It was a blessing.”
Florida Army National Guard Veteran
“I am a veteran with a service-connected disability and was basically just starting over from scratch. I ran into financial difficulties and called many places for assistance, but only The American Legion responded. They acted quickly and even brought the paperwork to me. They covered a months worth of utilities and now I can catch up. I am truly grateful.”
Navy Veteran
“We were facing an eviction and were in danger of having our power shut off. I was scared for my three kids who are 14, 4, and 2… I want to thank each and every party for helping my family through a rough patch. This is a wonderful program for vets and more are needed.”
Army Veteran
“The help our family received was a great relief. It’s nice to have a special group of people that care so much about our military!”
USMC Veteran
“We were unable to pay rent due to circumstances beyond our control. We called The American Legion and someone came to our house within 24 hours. They were very supportive and concerned; we were able to get a rent check in the mail in less than six days. We will always be grateful.”
Navy Veteran
