AUTOMATED RETAIL

When members spend their money at an AAFCANS branded vending machine they are contributing money back directly to their base’s welfare.

AAFCANS disburses profits from its automated retail vending program to Defence welfare funds – on the bases where the profits were generated.

See ‘Giving Back’ for the latest welfare disbursements.
