Welcome to the National Guard
State Family
Readiness Council (NGSFRC)
The State Family Readiness Council of
the New Jersey
National Guard sincerely appreciates your interest in our endeavors.
The council, a non –profit organization consists of 20-25 volunteers
of individuals that are trying to make a difference in the lives of
our New Jersey citizen soldiers, airmen and their families.
Since its
inception in 2004, the Council has raised more than $1,000,000
for programs to benefit our “Hometown Heroes” and their
families. The Council is proud to report that 98.2% of all donations
directly benefit our National Guard families.
The focus of our
support efforts has been the Council’s Family
and Business Grant Program. To date, we have awarded
more than $1,000,000 to New Jersey National Guard members or
to their families who
are facing financial hardships during military deployment. These
grants
are vital
in keeping National Guard families financially afloat.
Military
operations and deployments will only continue for the New Jersey
Army and Air National Guard. We currently have 300 soldiers presently
in Iraq, and happy to report the safe return of 3,000 this past summer.
We anticipate future deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010.
As we look ahead, it is clear our “Hometown
Heroes” will
depend on concerned citizens, businesses and communities to help
them through this long and worrisome year.
In an effort to ensure
that our council can continue to help those who will be affected
in a financial way, donations are
gratefully
accepted and can be sent to our mailing address:
SFRC P.O. Box
5692 Trenton, NJ 08638.
