ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  The Robins Air Force Base 2016 Air Force Assistance Fund campaign runs through April 29. This year's campaign includes an installation goal of $83,949, with the theme of "Team Robins Helping Airmen." 

The annual effort raises funds to provide support throughout the Air Force family to include assistance with emergency needs, education, or to secure a retirement home for widows or widowers of Air Force members in need of financial aid. 

During the next several weeks, unit project officers will be making 100 percent contact throughout the installation to include nearly 5,000 Air Force Reserve, Guard and active duty personnel. They will be available to answer questions and offer the opportunity to contribute to this year's campaign. 

AFAF affiliate charities, which support active duty, retirees, Reserve, Guard and dependents, include: Gen. and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation; Air Force Enlisted Village; Blue Skies of Texas - formerly Air Force Village; and Air Force Aid Society, with an office located in the Airman & Family Readiness Center in Bldg. 794. 

Retirees who would like to contribute may contact the Retiree Activities Office at robins.rao@gmail.com. Civilians may contact their organization's UPO.
