TACOMA, WASH. – Support The Enlisted Project (STEP), the San Diego-based nonprofit serving junior enlisted service members, Veterans, and their families experiencing financial crisis, has expanded its services to military families in other parts of the nation, and is available in Orange County and throughout Southern California, across Washington state, and beyond. The expansion is in response to the growing demand for financial support services from military service members and Veterans. In the last year, STEP has worked with an average of 85 client families per month through its Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA) Program and is determined to keep up with the increasing demand and meet the needs of this community by growing the organization’s capacity and geographic reach.
