How the Red Cross Supports Military Families

We assisted with 93 Service to Armed Forces (SAF) cases last year. We have eight volunteers and paid staff members trained and on-call to handle SAF cases, and we are one of the few chapters in Illinois to provide 24/7 local coverage for SAF calls from families of those serving in the military.

Learn more about Service to the Armed Forces.
