As a new arrival, you may feel like you’re in limbo while waiting for your household goods. One of the first stops, especially if arriving ahead of household goods, will be at the Family Services Loan Closet. We’re here to help make things easier… and when you’re ready to leave we would like to make your farewell as painless as possible. The Loan Closet has everything needed to set up a home whole awaiting household goods delivered.
Loan Closet
While you wait for your household goods (or after they’ve been packed for departure) we’re happy to loan pots and pans, dishes, irons, car seats, futons, and more (ALL FREE OF CHARGE!). Length of loan varies, depending on status (PCS or TDY). Two-week guest loans are available to military, retired military, and Luke civilian employees.
Family Services welcomes new volunteers desiring to provide this helpful service for their community. For more information call 623-856-6550
Layette Program
A layette of baby items is provided within 30 days of birth to all E-5 and below active duty members of all branches of military. Activated Reservists with orders of 30 days or longer are entitled to a layette (please provide a copy of your orders when requesting layette). The member of spouse must pick up the layette within 30 days of the birth of the baby with proper identification (birth certificate or baby’s hospital bracelet).
This program is supported by the Officers’ Spouses Club, the Airman and Family Readiness Flight and the Combined Federal Campaign.
