During times of mobilization and deployment...
No one ever said that being in the Reserve, National Guard, or any other
community-based military position was going to be easy for you or your family.
Military life, in fact, often creates unforeseen hardships.
The good news is that American Red Cross Service to Armed Forces (SAF)
helps community-based military members and their families cope with separation
and other special needs related to service in the armed forces.
As a community-based military man or woman you and your family are entitled
to the same valuable Red Cross emergency services as full-time active duty
military personnel. We're always there to help you:
| Stay in touch with loved ones. Our Red Cross worldwide
emergency communications network operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We can help you or your family send emergency messages regarding the death
or serious illness of a family member, the birth of a child, or other family
emergencies.
|
| Get verification of emergency leave information. The Red
Cross can provide you and your commander with fast, reliable information to
help make decisions regarding emergency leaves, deferments, compassionate
reassignments, and dependency discharges.
|
| Secure emergency financial assistance. The Red Cross
collaborates with the military aid societies in providing financial
assistance when an urgent personal or family crisis arises - that is, when
you might need financial assistance for emergency travel, burial of a loved
one, or urgent health and welfare needs such as food and shelter.
|
| Obtain counseling, information, referrals, and other social needs.
In addition to having Red Cross workers available to you for confidential
problem solving, as a community-based military member you also are entitled
to a variety of health and supportive services from military and other
sources. The Red Cross can help you understand government
benefits.
|
| Receive veterans services to which you are entitled. The Red
Cross represents veterans and their families who seek compensation awards
from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). Red Cross volunteers
also serve hospitalized veterans at VA medical centers. |
| With disaster assistance, health and safety and HIV/AIDS education, and
volunteer opportunities. The Red Cross provides assistance in
times of disaster as well as offers you and your family health and safety
training and volunteer opportunities. |
You're an integral part of the military family. Consider us - the
American Red Cross - a close relative who's just a phone call away.
