Recognizing how important volunteers are to a base community, the Air Force Aid Society provides funding for child care through the Child Care for Volunteers program. AFAS helps offset child care expenses for volunteers who support programs which benefit the entire base community. (We are not able to pay for those who volunteer in the Thrift Shop, for fund raising or social activities.) This child care is to be done in AF certified Family Child Care homes on base or AF affiliated homes off base.
