Located in Ripley, WV, the American Red Cross is dedicated to supporting our military families through critical financial assistance during times of hardship. We work hand-in-hand with military aid societies to ensure eligible service members and their families have access to essential resources, available 24/7 throughout the year. Our program covers a range of urgent needs, including emergency travel, funeral expenses, and vital assistance for food and shelter. While we facilitate the application process, our partner military aid societies determine eligibility and the specific assistance package provided. Services are easily accessible, allowing families to submit requests online or with a simple call to the American Red Cross Hero Care Center to receive the support they need. We are here to stand by our heroes in their most challenging times.
