Langley's AFAF campaign kicks off March 29

By Capt. Cheryl Barnes Air Force Assistance Fund Langley representative

This year's Air Force Assistance Fund campaign runs from March 29 to May 7 and provides Airmen the opportunity to contribute to the four Air Force charitable organizations.

The Air Force Villages Indigent Widows' Fund supports the Air Force Village in San Antonio, Texas, which is a life-care community for retired officers, spouses, widows, widowers and family members.

The Air Force Enlisted Village Indigent Widows' Fund supports the Air Force Village in Shalimar, Fla., providing rent subsidy and support to indigent widows and widowers of retired enlisted personnel.

The Air Force Aid Society is the official charity of the Air Force and assists in relieving financial emergencies encountered by active duty members and their families. AFAS also assists Reserve and Guard personnel who are on extended active duty.

The General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation provides rent and financial assistance to the widows and widowers of all retired Air Force personnel, regardless of rank.

Each unit will designate an AFAF representative, who will have the responsibility of reaching 100-percent contact with office personnel.

For more information about unit designations, call Capt. Katrina Robinson at 764-7995 or Capt. Cheryl Barnes at 764-6744.
