Financial Assistance for Military Families

In Buffalo, NY, the American Red Cross is dedicated to supporting military families through our Financial Assistance for Military Families program. Partnering with military aid societies, we provide essential financial aid to eligible service members and their families in times of need, around the clock, every day of the year. Our assistance includes emergency funds for travel, burial expenses, and urgent food and shelter needs. While we facilitate the application process, military aid societies determine eligibility and the specific financial support available. Applying is straightforward; individuals can submit requests online or reach out to our Hero Care Center for assistance. Together, we strive to ensure that no military family faces hardship alone, reinforcing our commitment to those who serve our country.
