The 33rd Air Force Assistance Fund (AFAF) drive ends April 29 for 442nd Fighter Wing members. The fund aids four organizations that provide assistance to Air Force retirees, as well as their spouses and family members.
 
Staff Sergeant Talaya Hill, the wing AFAF project officer, said the wing hopes to raise $1,000 this year. “(The fund) is really helpful,” Sergeant Hill said. “I’ve known people who’ve benefited greatly. This is a way for people to contribute to other Air Force people.”
The four organizations are: 

• The Air Force Aid Society provides Airmen and their families with worldwide emergency financial assistance, education assistance and other aid. For more information, visit www.afas.org

• The Air Force Enlisted Village Indigent Widow’s Fund near Eglin AFB, Fla., assists widows and widowers or retired enlisted people 55 years of age and older with rent subsidies and other support. For more information, visit www.afenlistedwidows.org

• The Air Force Village Indigent Widow’s Fund in San Antonio, Texas, aids retired officers and their spouses, widows or widowers, and family members. For more information, visit www.airforcevillages.com

• The General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation helps officers’ and enlisted members’ indigent widows and widowers in their own homes. For more information, visit www.lemayfoundation.org
