The Red Cross may provide access to financial assistance, either as an interest-free loan or as a grant, for travel expenses when a personal or family crisis arises which requires the presence of the service member or his or her family. Access to financial assistance may also be provided when there is a demonstrated need for funds for emergency travel, burial assistance or urgent health and welfare needs such as food and shelter.
For emergency financial assistance, active duty military and their family members in the United States can call the Armed Forces Emergency Service Center seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In overseas deployment areas, American Red Cross mobile staff working directly with America's military provide access to emergency financial assistance services. On overseas military installations, military personnel can get help through on-base Red Cross stations.
