The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society(NMCRS) is a non-profit, volunteer organization founded in 1904 to provide financial assistance to active duty and retired Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families. NMCRS provides assistance with basic living expenses, emergency transportation, funerals, medical bills, essential car repairs, pay problems, and other emergency needs. Assistance is provided in the form of interest-free loans and/or grants, depending on financial need and type of assistance rendered.
In addition to financial assistance, NMCRS also provides many valuable services. These services include baby budget classes for new and expectant parents, a Visiting Nurse Program, a layette program as well as a thrift shop at Pearl Habor.
Volunteers are the backbone of NMCRS. Our volunteers are receptionists, caseworkers, thrift shop workers, clerical and computer personnel. We are also fortunate in Hawaii to have a number of senior citizens from all over Oahu who sew, knit and crochet items for our baby layette program.
