349th Holiday Food Drive - Aerial Port, Aircraft Maintenance Squadrons leading the way

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, CalIf. -- The 349 AMW Holiday Food Drive is going strong due to the Aerial Port Squadron and 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron's generous donations.

During the November A-Flight, Staff Sgt. Kenyetta King, 349th Chaplain's office, took the opportunity, and worked diligently, to set up a little shopping mart area for member of the 349th to 'shop' due to the large amount of food donations received.

We have had an urgent request from a local area food back for food items before the Thanksgiving Holiday as their shelves are bare due to an increased need in the community. With the incoming donations we will be able to support their request and plan to provide half of what we have received so far, approximately 1,500 lbs.

Please get the word out to those units that have empty barrels, and also to members of the wing who may be in need of food assistance this holiday season.

Unit donations as of Nov. 6:
#1 = Aerial Port Squadron @ 3,671 lbs
#2 = 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron @ 276 lbs
#3 = 349th AMW/Force Support Squadron @ 48 lbs
#4 = 349th Security Force Squadron @ 27 lbs
