The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) is a non-profit, charitable organization that was created in 1904 by the Department of the Navy to help military members and their families facing financial hardships by providing interest-free loans and grants.
Since January 2013, the NAS Jax NMCRS volunteers have handled almost 2,500 cases, providing nearly $1.4 million in assistance.
