The Mid-South Chapter of the American Red Cross, located in the Wainwright Building (S-456), provides service and assistance to active duty personnel and their dependents including:

Emergency Communications. In the event of an emergency, critical accident, illness, or death in a service member or spouse’s immediate family, the Red Cross is equipped to verify the situation and relay the notification and/or emergency leave request. If necessary, the Red Cross will also inform the proper military authorities. The leave or travel authority decision is up to the commanding officer.

Emergency Financial Assistance. When urgent problems require the presence of the service member or his/her spouse, the Red Cross may provide financial assistance with approval of military aid societies for travel expenses. These funds, which may be authorized for other emergencies as well, are disbursed on the basis of need. Immediate emergency needs following some form of disaster can include food, clothing or shelter. These needs are met with Red Cross disaster funds as a grant, never as a loan.

Training. Military personnel and family members may arrange to receive training in first aid, CPR, water safety and many other health and safety courses offered by the local chapter of the American Red Cross.

Volunteer Opportunities. Available through the Red Cross as health and safety course instructors, as caseworkers at the Navy Branch Health Clinic or Pharmacy or in other capacities.

The Mid-South Chapter of the American Red Cross and its services are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Call (901) 874-5607 or 726-1690.
