Airman's Attic: A hidden treasure Published Jan. 17, 2017 By Senior Airman Joshua Kincaid 910th Airlift Wing Public Affairs YOUNGSTOWN AIR RESERVE STATION, Ohio -- Untitled Document A lone figure carries in box upon box of donations. Winter snow blows across his face, but he doesn’t stop while the mission remains unfinished. The bitter cold is here and Tech. Sgt. Michael Woodall, Readiness Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) for the Airman and Family Readiness Center (A&FRC) here, is working diligently to fill the Airman’s Attic. The holiday season brought in many donations and has filled the Airman’s Attic from corner to corner with clothing, appliances, tools, toys and several other items. The Airman’s Attic, a donation collection and distribution hub for YARS service members in need, is located in Building 112. The Attic is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Unit Training Assembly (UTA) weekends. Woodall oversees the Airman’s Attic. “The Airman’s Attic has seen tremendous growth since Sgt. Woodall took charge of it,” said Master Sgt. Tom Beasley, first sergeant of the 910th Force Support Squadron. “He has done a great job of connecting donations with the families that need them.” Woodall said that the Airman’s Attic has been able to help families all over the base with a variety of issues. The Airman’s Attic was able to supply a family with beds after a house fire, said Woodall. It was also able to help out first time parents who were short on items that they needed for their newborn child. “The satisfaction that I get from hearing someone say that they need help and that I know that I was able to make someone’s life a little bit better is immeasurable,” said Woodall. “That’s what it’s all about. Just being able to help Airmen in need out and not having to turn anyone away.” Enlisted Airmen from E-1 to E-5 are encouraged to utilize the Airman’s Attic, but it is available to any and all Airmen who are in need. “We have found a good way to get items to Airmen in need through the Airman’s Attic,” said Maj. Scott Julian, 910th Force Support Squadron Commander. “We’re excited to see how much this can grow and how many lives we can make a positive impact on.” Woodall said donations can be taken directly to the Airmen’s Attic.
