CAMP ZAMA– This holiday season, Camp Zama Exchange shoppers can make a difference to those in need by donating to military relief funds during checkout.

Shoppers can donate to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS), Army Emergency Relief (AER) or the Air Force Assistance Fund (AFAF) at the Camp Zama Exchange.

Donations of $1 can be made at the Exchange register during checkout. Shoppers can donate online in $5 increments at ShopMyExchange.com.

“Exchange shoppers are vital partners in supporting service members and their families during times of need,” said Camp Zama Exchange General Manager Nick Cucinello. “Every donation strengthens the safety net that helps our Nation’s heroes and their loved ones when it matters most so they can remain mission-ready.”

Since 2017, Exchange shoppers have donated more than $11.7 million to military relief organizations. In 2025 alone, contributions totaled more than $2 million.

The relief agencies provide grants, scholarships, interest-free loans, charitable donations and more to active-duty service members, Retirees, Guard members and families. For more info, visit here.
