Gift Certificates from the Homefront

Week of July 14, 2008

The "Gifts from the Homefront" program now allows people to send an exchange gift certificate to a servicemember. These certificates are redeemable by Authorized Patrons of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), the Marine Corps Exchange (MCX), the Navy Exchange (NEX) and the Coast Guard Exchange at all locations around the world including deployed areas. The gift certificates can be purchased by visiting the AAFES website or calling 877-770-4438. From there, BX/PX gift certificates are sent to individual servicemembers (designated by the purchaser) or distributed to "any servicemember" through various charitable organizations. To date, these charitable partners distributed 24,815 certificates, totaling more than $480,000, earmarked for "any servicemember."
