Based in Newport, VT, the American Red Cross is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance for military families facing emergencies. Collaborating with military aid societies, we ensure that eligible service members and their families receive reliable support around the clock, all year long. Our services cover a range of urgent needs, including funds for emergency travel, funerals, food, and shelter, helping alleviate the stress during difficult times. While we assist with the application process, military aid societies determine eligibility and tailor financial assistance packages to meet specific needs. Service members can easily submit requests online or connect with the American Red Cross Hero Care Center for guidance and support.
