Fund, giving shoppers an opportunity to help their military family in need.”

Since the Exchange partnered with the fund in 2017, shoppers worldwide have donated nearly $2 million to the relief fund, which provides financial assistance, supports educational needs and offers community programs to make life better for airmen, guardians, retirees and their families. The relief organization has also supported warfighters and their families through the pandemic.

“Exchange shoppers’ donations have been critical in helping carry out the AFAF mission,” said retired Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright, CEO of the Air Force Aid Society, one of four charities that benefit from the fund, in the press release. “We’re grateful for our continued partnership with the Exchange to make the Air Force family stronger.”

Travis Exchange shoppers can donate in increments of $1, $5 and $10 or enter in a custom amount at the register.

“When their military family is in need, Exchange shoppers continue to answer the call,” Travis Exchange General Manager Phonda Bishop said in the press release. “The Exchange is honored to partner with AFAF and support its incredible mission.”

Working alongside law enforcement, such as the FBI, Eoyang said, allows DoD to make sure adversaries can’t find safe haven in the United States.

“We can share that information and where it’s happening in the United States, then law enforcement can disrupt,” she said. “We’ve actually seen our law enforcement colleagues become very creative and very innovative in their use of lawful tools to be able to go after this. You may have seen some reporting on the FBI’s ability to seize malware that the (Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation) have inside the United States.”
