Our Services

Today's American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing military. Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the Red Cross allows military members stationed all over the world to send messages to loved ones back home during an emergency or other important events. These communications are delivered around-the-clock, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

While serving 1.4 million active duty personnel, the Red Cross also reaches out to the 1.5 million members of the National Guard and the Reserves who reside in nearly every local community in America.

Willamette chapter brief departing service members and their families regarding available support services and explain how the Red Cross may assist them during the deployment. Both active duty and community-based military can count on the Red Cross to provide emergency communications that link them with their families back home, access to financial assistance, and counseling.

Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel serve in nearly 1,000 chapters in the United States, on 109 military installations around the world and alongside our troops in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kosovo and Afghanistan.

This historic flag taken down on December 9, 1941 flew at Hickam Airfield near the Pearl Harbor Naval Base. Tattered and smoke stained, the flag was presented to the United Service Club of Philadelphia where it came under the care of the South Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross. Nearly sixty years later, in February of 2001, it became part of the American Red Cross Museum collection in Washington, DC.
