Services to the Armed Forces

When emergency strikes military personnel or their families anywhere in the world, the American Red Cross links separated families through an emergency communication line. Services to the Armed Forces (SAF) helps military families cope with separation and other special needs related to service in the armed forces. Services include around-the-clock, around-the-world communication between military members and their families; neutral, impartial assistance, including comfort and counseling; independent verification of emergency situations; and financial assistance and referrals for emergency travel and other family needs.
