In Newport, RI, the American Red Cross collaborates with military aid societies to deliver essential financial assistance to military families facing hardship at any time, day or night. Our program is dedicated to providing support for emergency needs, including financial help for urgent travel, burial expenses of loved ones, and emergency food and shelter. While we facilitate the application process, eligibility and tailored financial assistance packages are determined by the military aid society. Service members can easily submit a request online or seek support through the American Red Cross Hero Care Center, ensuring they have the necessary information ready to expedite assistance.
