The buildings and infrastructure will be repaired with tax dollars, but the people are in immediate need. The Air Force Aid Society will be a primary source of relief for these folks. Please give if you can.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Air Force Aid Society's resolve to be "There when you need us" for our Air Force family has never been stronger. Due to the outpouring of requests from individuals who want to help those specifically affected by the hurricane, we have established the AFAS Hurricane Relief Fund that will allow us to track contributions and disbursements donated for this purpose.
