AREA Emergency Relief Fund for associates impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton

Helping in Times of Need 

An Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) has been activated to help Exchange associates impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton.  

The AAFES Retiree Employees Association (AREA) Emergency Relief Fund serves as a depository for monies donated for financial assistance to Exchange associates who have been impacted by adverse weather conditions. If you would like to support Exchange associates impacted by the recent hurricanes, you can make a monetary donation to the AREA Relief Fund by: 

  1. Credit card through the AREA Website using this link, Hurricane ERF Donation. Please note that all credit card payments incur an administrative fee of 2.9% + $.30. If you would like to cover this fee, please increase your donation amount. This will ensure the full amount you donate goes to those in need.
  1. Check or money order payable to AREA Scholarship Fund-ERF. Cash donations need to be turned into a money order. Mail to the address below along with the name, address, and email of the contributor so AREA can send a tax-deductible receipt. Please also specify which relief fund for your contribution, Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton.
