The AARC Disaster Relief Fund was launched in 1992 to assist members who have suffered damage to their homes or other personal property as a result of federally declared natural disasters. Over the past 26 years the fund has been activated to help members who’ve lost property due to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and fires.
Donate to the Fund
The fund would not be possible without the generous donations from the AARC membership. If you would like to contribute to AARC’s Disaster Relief Fund, send a check made payable to AARC, P.O. Box 630007, Irving, TX 75063-9998, and put “Disaster Fund” in the memo section of the check.
