VFW National Home for Children Helps Active-Duty Military Families

Eaton Rapids, MI, November 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In light of recent news about pressing family care needs of our nation’s active-military, these families should know there is help at the VFW National Home for Children. In addition to other programs, the National Home assists American servicemen and women by providing help and resources for their families.

Recently, a servicewoman made national headlines for having a deployment issue because she had no one to care for her infant child. The National Home has a program designed to provide help in situations such as this.

The National Home’s Military Family Program assists the children, or spouse with children of active-duty military, National Guard and Reserves during a period of deployment. If the “family plan” falls through, the National Home for Children can provide a temporary safe, secure and loving home for children or spouses with children on its village-like campus of homes during the deployment.
