Financial Assistance for Military Families

In Westwego, LA, the American Red Cross is committed to supporting military families through our dedicated Financial Assistance for Military Families program. We collaborate with military aid societies to provide timely and reliable financial assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, addressing emergency needs for those who serve our country. Our assistance can cover critical expenses such as emergency travel, burial costs for loved ones, and emergency food and shelter. The application process is made simple by our team, who are here to guide you, while the military aid society evaluates eligibility and determines the most appropriate financial assistance available. Eligible service members can submit their requests online or reach out to the American Red Cross Hero Care Center to get started and ensure they have the necessary information ready, such as legal name, rank, and branch of service.
