Red Cross And Partners Provide Resources For Families

Often people are aware of services that the Red Cross provides for Service Members and their families. But many people have not heard about the financial services that can be accessed by Service Members and their families.

The Red Cross has an emergency services partner in each branch of the U.S. Military for assistance in financial matters. The Navy and Marine Corps, Army, Coast Guard, and the Air Force each work closely with the American Red Cross to help provide funding for members of the Military in need.

These partnerships help provide assistance and financial aid for a variety of needs. Such needs include:

-Travel, emergency travel for or his or her family

-Burial of family or loved one

-Crisis Assistance of a nature that cannot be postponed till the next day of business.

Sometimes basic needs are at risk, and the Red Cross can help provide money to avoid calamity. Providing money for urgent physical or medical needs, money for lodging of a temporary nature, food, or even funds to avoid eviction or utility interruption are other ways that the Red Cross can help out.

The American Red Cross has a well-defined and efficient network around the globe. Services that are provided immediately when a Red Cross Caseworker is contacted are.

-Verify the nature of the emergency, critical injury or illness, crisis need or death that affects the immediate family or Service Member themselves.

-Send a communication immediately to the Service Member involved, directly to their location, worldwide.

-Make sure that the message is delivered to the Service Member

-Provide complete follow up to the issue with family back home.
