Support

Family Assistance Program

When tragedy strikes, families need support. Our Family Assistance Program provides comprehensive aid to widows, widowers, and families of fallen officers and veterans, ensuring they are never left to face hardship alone.

We understand that the loss of a loved one in the line of duty creates not only emotional trauma but also financial challenges. Our program is designed to address both, providing immediate assistance and long-term support.

Services Include:

Emergency Financial Aid: Immediate assistance for funeral expenses and urgent needs
Counseling Services: Access to grief counseling and mental health support
Legal Assistance: Help navigating benefits, insurance claims, and legal matters
Community Support Network: Connection with other families who understand
Holiday Programs: Special events and gifts for children during holidays
