The Centennial Chapter responds to nearly 1,000 calls for help every year from north Colorado military families.

Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the Red Cross sends communications on behalf of family members who are facing emergencies or other important events to members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving all over the world. These communications are delivered around-the-clock, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Across the country, It is estimated that a message is relayed every 20 seconds between Red Cross chapters, stations, and ships at sea; sharing news of loved one’s illness, or death or providing emergency financial assistance to service members and their families.

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 assistance to veterans.

Volunteer opportunities are available if you would like to become a military caseworker and provide much need support for our troops and their families. All training is provided free of charge.

Part of the Service to Armed Forces program also includes the Get to Know Us Before You Need Us Program, which briefs National Guard, Reserve and ROTC personnel and their families about the services we provide, in case they should need us. Presentations for these military groups can also be conducted by volunteers.

Please contact Jason Godinez for more information about volunteer opportunities in Service to Armed Forces.
