AFAF aids joint base community

Master Sgt. Sean Flower, 305th AMW plans program NCO in-charge, talks about the Air Force Assistance Fund helped him and his family Feb. 4, 2013, at Tommy B's community center, during the annual AFAF kick-off event. The AFAF was established to provide for an annual effort to raise funds for the charitable affiliates that provide support to the Air Force family (active duty, retirees, reservists, guard and their dependents, including surviving spouses) in need. These organizations are the Air Force Villages, Inc., the Air Force Aid Society, Inc., the General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation, and the Air Force Enlisted Village, Inc. The organizations help Air Force people with aid in an emergency, with educational needs, or to have a secure retirement home for widows or widowers of Air Force members in need of financial assistance.
