The Subvets Brotherhood Fund is set up to benefit both the Active Service Submariners as well as Submarine Veterans. The purpose of this fund is to provide emergency relief to SubVets in the case of catastrophic situations, and to annually provide additional financial support to the Active Service Submariners through the SubLant and SubPac Caring and Sharing programs.
History: Originally established in 2000 by the USSVI Lockwood Internet Base chapter as the "Dinner for Sailors" program, this program continues on as the USSVI National Caring and Sharing program. |
Over the past eleven years (2011 - 2022) the Brotherhood fund has disbursed in excess of $85,000 in support of our Submarine Veteran shipmates in need.
These disbursements included payments to the Atlantic and Pacific Submarine Force Sailor of the Year programs, recurring donations to the Groton Base Thanksgiving dinners project, recurring support in Caring & Sharing funds for personal shipmate medical & employment tragedies, substantial support in disaster relief for hurricanes and for the California "Camp Fire".
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has created critical needs which the Brotherhood Fund has recognized and stepped up to support Submarine Veterans and their families, including purchasing numerous computers needed for home education during the closure of most schools
Your donations to the Brotherhood Fund in support of our shipmates is what has made all this possible and are sincerely appreciated.
