Camp Zama – Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers’ generosity continues to help lift up service Soldiers, retirees and Army families. In 2022, Exchange shoppers worldwide donated nearly $1 million to Army Emergency Relief (AER).
AER provides financial assistance, sponsor scholarships for military family members and offer community programs to make life better for Soldiers and their families.
“At the Exchange, we’re family serving family,” said Exchange Director/CEO Tom Shull, an Army Veteran. “When one family member is going through a tough time, the rest band together to give strength and support. That is what Exchange shoppers do with their continued support of AER.”
Shoppers at the PX or Express can add a $1 donation to AER when checking out. Shoppers who wish to give more can speak with a cashier at checkout to donate in any amount. Online donations can be made in $5 increments at ShopMyExchange.com.
“The donations by Exchange shoppers make a tremendous difference to the Soldiers, retirees and Army families who turn to AER for help,” said retired Lt. Gen. Raymond V. Mason, AER director. “The partnership with the Exchange continues to help AER be there when our Soldiers need us most.”
The Exchange has partnered with AER since 2017 to offer shoppers the option of donating at checkout. Since then, Exchange shoppers have donated more than $4 million.
