Marine Corps League launches F.A.I.T.H. Program

ENNIS – The Ellis County Detachment 1452 has been working hard to organize and ultimately activate this program within our non-profit corporation and the time has finally come.

Project F.A.I.T.H. (Funding Assistance In Trying Hours) is designed to provide immediate family, life, or living assistance, either financially or in-kind, to Veterans of all branches of the United States Military in Ellis and neighboring Counties. This program aids Veterans by providing assistance to Veterans and their immediate families for basic needs, including but not limited to: food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical assistance, building a mobility ramp, etc.

“Many Veterans struggle during times of emergency or crisis. Project F.A.I.T.H. provides a means to enable these brave men and women, Veterans of the US Military, to get a leg up while returning to a more productive, fulfilling life with their families after an emergency or crisis.

When we help improve the lives of our Veterans, we also improve the quality of life for their families, communities, and our Country as a whole,” said Jack Luge, the Detachment’s Senior-Vice Commandant.

Project F.A.I.T.H. is a committee driven program which allows the committee of five to seven members to vote on an individual’s case (within the guidelines of the programs Bylaws) without the time delays of having to wait until the entire Detachment is together to brief Corps League Inc. and vote on the matter.

However, certain conditions apply for a Veterans case to be taken before the Detachment’s membership at a monthly meeting for decision. Emergency situations are taken into account. All cases are briefed with anonymity and haste as a primary priority.

Veterans or their immediate family (spouse or children) can apply for assistance with Project FAITH by visiting the Detachment’s website at https:llmctelliscounty1452.org/Project-FAITH/

Upon receipt of the online application the Project F.A.I.T.H.. Committee Chairman will schedule a sit-down interview with the requestor where the chairman must evaluate and determine the need of a veteran or their immediate family.
