Exchange shoppers help Soldiers in need through AER donations
The Fort Stewart Consolidated Exchange is family serving family and Soldiers can help their battle buddies in need by donating to Army Emergency Relief at the Post Exchange register.
In 2020, Exchanges worldwide donated nearly $1.5 million to AER, an increase of more than 1,000% over 2019 donations. Beginning last year, PX shoppers were able to donate to the organization at checkout year-round. The record donations were critical in seeing Soldiers and families through tough times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Spring is almost here, and savings are blooming at the Fort Stewart Consolidated Post Exchanges. Soldiers and military shoppers who open and use a new Military Star account from March 12-25 will receive 15% off on all first-day purchases, instead of the regular 10%. The discount will appear as a credit on the first monthly billing statement.
