Veteran Assistance

The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs is asking for your help in raising awareness of the Military Family Relief Fund (MFRF) with your members. We are coordinating this outreach to community partners, statewide agencies, veterans’ organizations, community groups, food pantries, churches, and nonprofit organizations—all groups who touch the lives of Indiana veterans in meaningful ways.

The IDVA is focused on ensuring that Indiana veterans and the Indiana service community are aware of this important financial assistance, which can provide up to $2,500 in support to Veterans and their dependent family members to cover their most central and basic needs, such as:

• Housing (rent/Mortgage)

• Utilities

• Food

• Current Medical Expenses

• Transportation (vehicle payment/basic emergency repairs /insurance)

Your support will mean expanding awareness on the MFRF among your members and network, so we can reach the key audience across the state.

We have developed a special marketing toolkit of materials for you to use in your outreach to help us raise awareness of the MFRF. To support all outreach efforts, we encourage you to visit our Marketing Toolkit page by clicking here: https://www.in.gov/dva/about-idva/links/military-family-relief-fund/marketing-toolkit/

This toolkit contains social media graphics for you to use on your social channels, suggest email copy for communications to your members, a one-page info flyer and even a table tent you can download, print and place in visible locations where Indiana vets can see this important message.

We highly appreciate your help in delivering this important message about the Military Family Relief Fund to veterans across the state. So please feel free to share this information with other organizations that you feel may help us spread the word about MFRF as well.
