Scott AFB Exchange seeking volunteer groups for community gift wrap program

Scott AFB volunteer groups looking to raise money—and spread some holiday cheer this season—can turn to the Scott AFB Exchange, which is seeking partners for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s annual community gift wrap program.

As part of the program, the Scott AFB Exchange sets up tables and provides supplies that community volunteer groups can use to wrap gifts during the busy holiday shopping season in exchange for donations.

This year, the Scott Exchange has teamed up with the Scott Spouse’s Club fundraising chair, Allison Bonitati. She will be coordinating and scheduling the Scott Exchange Gift Wrap Program, which will open the day after Thanksgiving and continue until Christmas Eve.

“The Exchange’s community gift wrap program helps military families make the most of the hectic holiday season,” said Scott AFB Exchange General Manager, Rita Sheridan. “They can check items off their gift lists and get those presents wrapped in just one stop. As an added bonus, Scott AFB community groups get a chance to raise money for their worthy causes.”

Interested organizations can contact the Scott Exchange Gift Wrap POC Allison Bonitati at (316) 350-6469 for information on scheduling a time to participate in the community gift wrap program.
