November 4, 2024 – Update
AFAS is proud of the speed and quantity of support we were able to provide to service members and families impacted by the recent hurricanes.
Our team worked around the clock to help Airmen and Guardians affected by the 2 recent hurricanes. So far we have completed 4,700+ applications and disbursed more than $4M in aid.
We couldn’t have done it without the hard work of our Operations Team, and the support of our generous donors.
Airmen and Guardians impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton can still apply for emergency financial assistance through our Standard Assistance program. Learn more and start an application at https://afas.org/how-we-help/standard-assistance/.
