This Veterans Day, the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) recognizes the thousands of residents who contributed to the Military Family Assistance Fund (MFA) by donating $1 when obtaining their driver’s license at OMV customer service centers or public tag agent locations.
Between September 1, 2025, and October 31, 2026, $16,832 was raised for the men and women who serve our country and state.
Through the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs, the MFA Fund pays up to $10,000 for housing, utilities, some medical services and other essential expenses creating a financial hardship for veterans and members of the Louisiana National Guard or Reserves.
“Each donation shows a small token of appreciation for the men and women who served,” said Louisiana OMV Commissioner Keith Neal. “Every dollar raised can create a life-changing impact for our military families when they need support the most.”
Residents can also support the fund by purchasing Support Our Veterans and Support Our Troops license plates. You can purchase a plate by visiting www.expresslane.la.gov/OMV/
Since 2020, residents have donated more than $151,000 to the Military Family Assistance Fund through the OMV.
