American Red Cross services for veterans date back to World War I and remain consistent with the mission of its congressional charter. Today, the Red Cross is proud to maintain its commitment to the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The American Red Cross offers confidential services to all military veterans and their families by connecting them with Red Cross, national, state and local resources through our network of chapters in communities across the United States and offices on military installations worldwide. Local Red Cross offices develop and maintain relationships with key community partners. Veterans and their families rely on the Red Cross to help them identify their needs and connect them to the most appropriate Red Cross and other resources. This key Red Cross service ranges from responding to emergency needs for food, clothing, and shelter, referrals to counseling services (e.g., financial, legal, jobs, mental health), information on veterans cemeteries and burial bene-fits, and other resources that meet the unique needs of local veterans and their families. Here at the Southern Tier Chapter of the American Red Cross, we hope that this guide can help you find any services you may be looking for in our local area. This guide not only includes healthcare services in our area, but information about obtaining various Veteran benefits for Veterans and their family members. The American Red Cross thanks you for your service to our country. Service to Armed Forces Local Advisory Committee
