Financial Assistance for Military Families

Based in Forest Hill, MD, Financial Assistance for Military Families, a program of the American Red Cross, is dedicated to providing vital financial support to active duty military personnel and their families in times of crisis. We partner with military aid societies to deliver essential assistance, ensuring that help is available 24/7, all year round. Our program addresses emergency financial needs through assistance for critical situations such as emergency travel, burial expenses, and urgent food and shelter requirements. While we facilitate the application process, the military aid society evaluates eligibility and customizes the financial assistance package that meets your needs. Service members can easily submit a request online, or via our Hero Care Center, ensuring that swift, reliable aid is just a step away when you need it most.
