WASHINGTON, May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Red Cross provides support to our U.S. military community at every step of their career — from the time a service member takes their oath to navigating life as a veteran and each event in between. You can find American Red Cross support of military communities across the globe at military hospitals, on installations locally and overseas and through local chapter offices in every state.
Key Points:
- For those with a military background or just a heart for military and veteran communities, opportunities to volunteer and support are available.
- "Oftentimes when military families go through a crisis, they are separated from their families and their support systems," said Michael Jordan, Vice President for Service to the Armed Forces & International Services.
- The Red Cross is the only organization to provide this emergency messaging service to separated and active-duty military families.
- Over the last year, the Red Cross provided more than 19,000 military families with support through Resiliency Workshops.
