Phoenix Gently Used Uniform Program Re-opens in New Location

With the support of the PHX Flight Service Department, the PHX Flight Wear Exchange Program is reopening in a new location and holding a grand opening event.

The event will take place Monday and Tuesday (July 20th & 21st) from 10 am to 6 pm at the US Airways Flight Training Center located at 1950 E. Buckeye Road, Phoenix, AZ 85034. Please wear your airline ID for expedited entrance to the training center.

Gently used and new uniform pieces will be available to redeem for recommended donation amounts. If you would like to exchange a never worn uniform piece (must have the original tags on it) you may do so as well at this event. We will gratefully be accepting donations of gently used uniforms that are clean and are on hangers during this event as well. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the WINGS Foundation, Inc, a non-profit organization, formed & managed by American Airlines Flight Attendants. Future hours are to be determined and will be posted on the Wings Foundation website.

Volunteers administer support to AA Flight Attendants applying for assistance who are in critical need of financial help. Assistance may be available to those experiencing serious illness, injury or disability. It may also include those affected by a disaster or catastrophic event which ultimately causes a major financial hardship.

To date since January the WINGS Foundation has assisted LUS Flight Attendants with almost $59,000.00. You may now set up direct donations to support Flight Attendants in need through Network for Good at www.wingsfoundation.com

If you would like to help with this event please contact Nicki Kirkeby at [email protected]
