The American Red Cross's Puerto Rico chapter marked Veterans Day by honoring the island's veterans and military families. [^1]

Red Cross volunteers visit the Veterans Hospital weekly to deliver hygiene kits to hospitalized veterans, and hold wellness activities once a month at the hospital's Community Living Center. [^2][^3][^4]

More than 50 of the chapter's volunteers are themselves veterans, many of them supporting the Red Cross's Service to the Armed Forces area. [^5][^6]

In fiscal year 2026 the chapter handled 501 emergencies and other urgent cases involving military members and veterans, alongside 405 disaster cases. [^7][^8]

In the prior month, volunteers assisted more than 40 families affected by residential fires and other disasters. [^9]

The chapter is asking the public for donations through ATH Móvil ('CruzRojaPR') to keep responding through the holiday season. [^10]
