SUPPORT FOR MILITARY HEROES®

Our soldiers have demonstrated heroism, we are determined to demonstrate compassion.

100% of your contribution will be used to support the wounded and their families. We work directly with military family medical centers to determine needs, especially at Walter Reed and Brook Army Medical.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US

"…These (payday lending) companies proliferate around military bases and take advantage of inexperienced junior military personnel by giving them easy loans to be repaid the next payday (for a very hefty fee). When the lower-graded service member finds that he or she cannot pay, the loan rolls over, sometimes for up to a year, generating another “fee” payment to the lender every time it rolls over. All too often the “fees” add up to many times the amount of the original loan. Freeing service members …from the clutches of such lenders is one of two major and ongoing initiatives of The Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation …Another major initiative that the Foundation is undertaking: a program called Dream Makers, named for the American dream of home ownership for all. The program is aimed at enabling enlisted personnel and Department of Defense civilians to buy their first home with grants of up to $5,000."
