Airman's Attic provides necessities, volunteer opportunities Published Aug. 2, 2007 By Airman 1st Class Shane Dunaway 4th Fighter Wing Public Affairs SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- For those looking to volunteer or looking for a toaster, the Airman's Attic, located at 1855 Wright Brother Ave. in Bldg. 3632, is a place where Airmen E-5 and below can fulfill both needs. "Seymour Johnson's Airman's Attic is designed to help reduce some of the cost of establishing a household for our junior enlisted members," said Lee Wright, community readiness consultant, Airmen and Family Readiness Center. "All the items are donated and available at no cost to members E-5 and below, single or married as long as they are stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base." Donations can be made at any time by placing items in the bins located on the right side of the building. "All donations must be in a box or bag," Mrs. Wright said. "For furniture donations, we would like people to call and make arrangements for drop-off so we can put the items inside instead of leaving them outside. Tax deduction letters are available for all donations." The Airman's Attic offers a wide array of items ranging from clothing and uniforms, appliances, household furniture and baby items such as cribs and car seats. The Airman's Attic is open Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is supported by a volunteer staff. "They do everything from sorting items, putting items on the shelves and ensuring the attic is open Wednesdays," Mrs. Wright said. "It would not run as smoothly as it does without those volunteers supporting it." Airmen and dependents who wish to volunteer can contact Kim Lindsey, the Airman's Attic coordinator, at 722-7181. Volunteers can also sign up on the Seymour Johnson AFB public Web site under "Volunteer Opportunities" or call the Airmen and Family Readiness Center at 722-1123.
