In Portland, CT, the American Red Cross stands as a steadfast ally for military families facing financial difficulties. Collaborating with military aid societies, we provide essential financial assistance to eligible service members and their families 24/7. Our program is designed to meet urgent needs, offering support for emergency travel, burial costs, as well as emergency food and shelter. While we facilitate the application process, military aid societies determine eligibility and the specific assistance available. We encourage families to submit requests online to access this vital support and ensure they have the necessary information ready to share for a smooth application experience. The American Red Cross is committed to being there in times of hardship, helping military families navigate through challenges with care and reliability.
