Information from USAG Stuttgart Army Community Service
The 2024 Army Emergency Relief (AER) Donation Campaign takes place from March 1 – June 1.
AER is the official non-profit (501(c)(3)) of the U.S. Army. Its mission is to provide grants, interest-free loans, and scholarships to promote readiness and help relieve financial distress of Soldiers and their Family Members.
In 2023, USAG Stuttgart families (both Active Duty and Retired) received $60,903 in emergency financial assistance, and overall, AER provided over $53 million dollars in assistance.
AER is not funded by the government and is not part of the CFC campaign. Therefore, it relies on donations from Active Duty and Retired Service Members, civilians, and other private sources in order to continue its great work.
