The AFAF campaign provides an opportunity for Air Force members to "take care of their own." Robins' goal for this year is $86,108 with 100 percent contact of all assigned Air Force personnel. Those interested in contributing should contact their unit project officer. The AFAF has four avenues through which donators can help active duty, Reserve, Guard, and retired Air Force members and their families: Air Force Aid Society -- provides Airmen and their families with worldwide emergency financial assistance, education assistance and an array of base level community-enhancement programs. Base family support centers have full details on programs and eligibility requirements.
