History of Coast Guard Mutual Assistance
Coast Guard Mutual Assistance has a long history of helping the men and women of the United States Coast Guard.
Originally established in 1924 as The League of Coast Guard Women, the organization was to “minister to the general welfare of the commissioned officers, warrant officers, enlisted men and civilian employees of the Coast Guard and their immediate families.”
In 1941, Coast Guard Welfare was formally established and took over the mission from the League.
In 1979, the name was changed to Coast Guard Mutual Assistance. Coast Guard Mutual Assistance was incorporated in the State of Virginia on 01 January 1998.
Today, Coast Guard Mutual Assistance offers aid to the entire Coast Guard family; active duty and retired military personnel, civilian employees, commissioned officers of the Public Health Service serving with the Coast Guard, Reservists, Auxiliarists, and their families.
