WASHINGTON (AFNS) --
Due to the government shut down we are being told many Airman & Family Readiness Centers to include their Air Force Aid sections will be closed. If you have an emergency travel situation or need funds to avoid privation please call the American Red Cross at 1-877-272-7337 -- Service to the Armed Forces, to request AFAS assistance.

We have compiled a list of FAQs to help you understand what we can do and how you can request assistance if needed. If you have a question that is not covered in the FAQs, please send an e-mail to afas@afas-hq.org and we will reply promptly.

Always remember, we are here to help because helping Airmen is what we do!
