Subject: Air Force Aid Society Cold Weather Grant

Leaders,

Due to the unbelievable record breaking temperatures affecting many areas around the country which caused power/water outages, bursting pipes and displacement of families, the Air Force Aid Society has put measures in place to help those affected by the cold weather snap. AFAS is available for consideration of Airmen/Guardian emergency financial needs caused by this wave of cold weather for such things as short term hotel stays, additional food needs, other basic living expenses or emergency needs in which no resources are available.

Effective immediately AFAS policy is as follows: We will provide up to a $500.00 grant for any Airmen/Guardians affected by this situation. Under normal circumstances, AFAS is only available to active duty members. However, they have recently opened the eligibility for the Cold Weather Grant to include:
• All National Guard and Reserve regardless of duty status
• Retirees
• Widows/widowers

The POC for applying for the Air Force Aid Society grant is Airman & Family Readiness (A&FR). A&FR will be able to assist the member on the process for the applying for the grant.

If you have any questions, please contact our HQ AFRC POC Mrs. Mandie Holovach, AFRC/A1RZ at DSN 497.1233/COMM 478.327.1233 or email: mandie.holovach@us.af.mil
