Current Project
Department Commander Bob Matheson has chosen to support PROJECT: VetRelief and Florida Disaster Relief, during his 2026-2027 term. It is his hope to raise a total of $100,000 in support of these efforts.
PROJECT: VetRelief is the official veteran assistance program of The American Legion, Department of Florida, dedicated to helping Florida veterans and their families overcome financial hardship and build stable, successful civilian lives. Through emergency financial assistance, suicide prevention initiatives, and community-based support programs, PROJECT: VetRelief provides a hand up—not a handout—to those who have served our nation. Since 2014, the program has assisted thousands of veterans and military families, ensuring that when challenges arise, Florida’s veterans have access to the resources, support, and hope they deserve.

Through the generosity of donors and volunteers, Disaster Relief ensures that Florida’s Legion Family stands ready to respond, rebuild, and support those affected when disaster strikes.
