Typhoon Yutu - Saipan
Tax deductible
We have been asked by AAFES to activate an Emergency Relief Fund Drive for Associates impacted by Typhoon Yutu on Saipan on October 24th. Emergency relief fund raising is a part of the AREA Scholarship Fund for tax reporting purposes.
Typhoon Yutu’s 180 mph winds overturned cars, knocked down hundreds of power poles and left an island of thousands without a medical center and another without an airport. Buildings were reduced to haphazard piles of tin and wood; if a structure wasn’t made of concrete, one resident said, it was probably wiped out by the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit any part of the United States since 1935.
If you would like to aid our Exchange family members affected by typhoon on Saipan by making a monetary donation/contribution to the Relief Fund, you can do so (1) thru this GoFundMe credit card link, or (2) by check payable to the AREA Emergency Relief Fund and mailed to the address below.
AREA-ERF (Saipan)
P.O. Box 380614
Duncanville, TX 75138-0614
Donations to the fund are tax deductible. Cash donations need to be turned into a money order and then mailed to the address listed above along with the name and address of the contributor so that AREA can provide a tax-free donation receipt.
The AREA Emergency Relief Coordinator (AERC) is Chuck Poffenbarger, [email redacted]
The program is outlined in its entirety at https://www.aafes.com/about-exchange/retired-employees-association/community-programs/emergency-relief.htm
