Grant funds available for children of deployed military to participate in summer activities Published June 6, 2007 MCGUIRE AFB, N.J. -- Summer is coming and now is the time that many kids will be signing up for camps, recreational activities and lessons, etc. Unfortunately, because of increased deployments and the financial and emotional stress associated with them, many military families might find these activities difficult to arrange. Grant funds, provided by the Department of Community Affairs, are available not only for financial emergencies and crisis situations, but also to provide recreational and stress relieving activities such as camps and classes for the children of deployed servicemembers. This grant is available to spouses and families of deployed military personnel in all branches of service in the state who are income eligible.
