Military Members and Their Families

Emergency Communications:
The Red Cross keeps military personnel in touch with their family following death or illness of a family member, or the birth of a child, or in response to other family emergencies.

Financial Assistance:
The Red Cross may provide financial assistance, either as an interest-free loan or as a grant, when a service member is unable to repay a loan. Financial assistance is provided to service members who have a demonstrated need for funds for such things as emergency travel and other urgent needs.

The Red Cross offers short-term counseling and referral, health and safety training, and other services to members of the military and their families.
