The Secretary of the Navy's annual Active Duty Fund Drive campaign in support of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) kicked off March 1. Active Duty Sailors and Marines are taking care of their own by providing donated funds to the only Department of the Navy sponsored non-profit organization.

Established in 1904 and funded solely through donations, NMCRS is a private 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving active duty and retired Sailors, Marines and their eligible family members in need throughout the world.

NMCRS provides financial assistance in the form of interest free loans and grants and education, as well as other programs and services. For more information on how you can help support the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, go to www.nmcrs.org. Please contact the NMCRS San Diego Director, Barry White, at 619-767-6810 with additional questions.
