Military Members and Families 

           The Red Cross movement began on a battle field. Today, the same spirit is present wherever American troops are deployed and anxious families wait at home. Our brave men and women in the Armed Forces face enough challenges without worrying about how their loved ones will contact them in an emergency - especially during times of conflict.

         The American Red Cross helps members of the military stay connected with their families during times of personal crisis. When an emergency strikes, the Red Cross helps families get messages to and from their loved ones in the military - our communication network operates 24 hours each day, 365 days each year. Whether stationed at sea, or at a base far from home, military service members can count on this assistance wherever they go. Over the years, the Hazleton Chapter has been there for thousands of military families in our area. 

                      When a family member calls, please try to have the service member’s full name including middle initial, rank and branch of service, social security number, and military address for our case worker. During office hours call 570-752-7221, and after hours call 1-800-696-3873.
