The Latvian Relief Fund of America (LRFA) celebrates over 70 years of service

LRFA is a fraternal, mutual assistance organization, providing a variety of benefit plans to help members to cover their medical, funeral and other health care expenses. We also assist members through affordable Travel Medical coverage and help members obtain health coverage for relatives visiting from Latvia. All members of LRFA are eligible for monetary relief from the LRFA Emergency Assistance Fund in cases of natural disaster or other catastrophic events.

Any United States resident who supports the principles and work of LRFA may become a member. Membership is not contingent upon participation in a benefit plan. But, participation in LRFA benefit plans is open to members only.
