Financial Assistance for Military Families

In Lima, OH, the American Red Cross collaborates with military aid societies to provide essential financial assistance for military families facing hardship. Our dedicated program offers immediate support for a variety of emergency needs, including urgent travel expenses, burial costs, and emergency food and shelter. We are committed to making this process as accessible as possible, allowing eligible service members and their families to submit assistance requests online or via our 24/7 Hero Care Center. While the Red Cross facilitates the application, military aid societies determine eligibility and tailor financial assistance packages to meet specific needs. We are here for you in your time of need, supporting the brave men and women of our armed forces and their families with compassion and reliability.
