The nonprofit Operation Homefront is changing its national structure to more efficiently serve military families, the organization’s leaders said.

Under the change, the administrative, management and governance responsibilities of the local chapters will shift to the national organization, which officials said would let the chapters focus more on directly serving military families.

Operation Homefront provides emergency financial assistance and other help to families of service members and wounded warriors. Families receive grants to help with basic needs such as food, utilities and housing.

Until now, each of the 23 chapters of Operation Homefront was its own nonprofit, with a board of directors and responsibility to fund itself locally, while handling fundraising, accounting, legal registrations, website maintenance and other administrative and management responsibilities. Now each will become a field office of the national organization, if they choose to remain part of Operation Homefront.
