Since 2015, MFA Oil has raised over $1.16 million in donations for Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to the families of U.S. military service members and veterans.

“We support Operation Homefront in its mission of building strong, stable and secure military families,” says Jon Ihler, MFA Oil president and CEO. “Our military service members and their families make many sacrifices to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily, and we are honored to partner with an organization like Operation Homefront that serves such a noble cause.”

The event included a golf tournament, dinner and a private concert by country music duo LOCASH.

“We are extremely grateful to MFA Oil and their incredible tournament guests for this generous donation,” says retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert D. Thomas, COO of Operation Homefront. “MFA Oil’s unwavering commitment to military families, spanning over eight years and well over a million dollars, has helped us give this very special and deserving group of our fellow Americans the opportunity to thrive in the communities they have worked so hard to protect.”
