The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) assists family members who have various disabilities and ensures they receive the necessary services to meet their basic needs. An exceptional family member is any family member of an active duty or retired Soldier, Army National Guard, or Army Reservist activated beyond 30 days, regardless of age, who has a disability or chronic illness which limits daily functioning or requires special ongoing counseling, training, education, therapy, or treatment, including the need for prescription medications. The program has a limited library of books, booklets, pamphlets, and audio and video tapes available for loan. The program now offers a manual wheelchair from the ACS Lending Closet that can be borrowed for up to 30 days. The program is mandatory for those family members of active duty military that meet the criteria for enrollment. The EFMP manager can attend Individual Education Plan meetings for an enrolled client, to assist with advocacy. The program offers a monthly support group and respite care. Call 301-619-3385 for more information. The Family Advocacy Program is located at 1520 Freedman Dr. in the Community Support Center.

The Household Items Exchange Program (HIEP) offers a referral service connecting military families or individuals needing household appliances and furniture to someone willing to donate items to a good cause. The ACS does not accept the actual HIEP donations as we do not have enough space for the storage of the items. For more information call 301-619-3456⁄3455. The Food Voucher Program provides temporary emergency food assistance to needy military Servicemembers, retirees, and family members. This program supplements and sometimes replaces assistance from Army Emergency Relief. Vouchers can be spent at the Fort Detrick Commissary to purchase food and other items. The ACS Outreach Program enhances readiness and retention by helping Soldiers and families develop a stronger sense of self-reliance and belonging in the military community. Outreach targets those families who have the greatest level of need, but are least likely to seek out and take advantage of services until they have reached a state of crisis. Outreach focuses on three main areas: education and prevention, direct services, and organizing support networks to encourage self-help and cultivate a sense of ownership within the military community. The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) Program is a grassroots program allowing members from every sector of the military to have a voice in raising concerns to the leadership. Some issues are dealt with at the local level while others are forwarded to higher commands for resolution. The issues are input from the people of the Army to Army leadership. It is a process that lets Soldiers and families say what is working and what is not - and what they think will fix it. The ACS Mobilization and Deployment program prepares Servicemembers and their families for deployment as an essential component of readiness. As the Army deploys units more frequently, families must be prepared to deal with the stress and family decisions during mobilization, deployment, and reunions. Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) are organized to provide mutual support for a unit’s family members. The FRG forms the third component of the Army’s family support system during deployment. It operates during periods of normal operations, as well, in close coordination with the affiliated unit and, if convenient, with ACS or the Reserve Component Family Program Coordinator’s Office. The FRG also serves as an important source of inspiration, training, and support to empower Army families to increase and enhance their self-reliance. The ACS Operation Happy Holidays (OHH)Program is designed to help families during the holiday season by soliciting support from units and organizations to sponsor an OHH family and accepting responsibility for raising money to purchase food, clothing, or gifts. Fundraising efforts may consist of food sales, car washes, or soliciting donations directly from individuals. The OHH Program only accepts and distributes “new“ clothing and gift items to families. Please contact your local charity or the post Thrift Shop to donate used clothing, books, and toys. Army Family Team Building (AFTB) is an official Army training program. AFTB helps to develop ready families and ready Soldiers and contributes to unit and mission readiness. AFTB helps members of the Army family understand the Army environment and lifestyle and provides them with information, knowledge, and skills vital to the readiness of the force. The Army Volunteer Corps (AVC) provides placement opportunities for volunteers based on interest and agency needs. AVC also assists volunteer organizations with recruitment, training, and guidance for volunteer recognition. The AVC is also responsible for coordinating the post’s blood drives. Volunteers support the mission in a variety of capacities such as: office assistants, FRG leaders, special events, and much more. Volunteers are required to register with the AVC office. Please call 301-619-3171 for more information. The Relocation Readiness and Information, Referral and Follow-up Program supports Servicemembers, civilians, and their Families who are relocating.
