Shoppers at the Army & Air Force Exchange Service made $2.5 million in donations to military relief funds in 2023, the Exchange said in a press release.

“Year after year, Exchange shoppers give selflessly and generously to support their fellow service members,” Exchange Director/CEO Tom Shull said. “The ‘family serving family’ mentality is an indelible part of the military community.”

Shoppers can add donations to their orders or donate online, which help fund Army Emergency Relief and the Air Force Assistance Fund.

The funds provide such services as financial assistance, scholarships for family members and community programs that make life better for warfighters, their families and retirees, the release said.
