HILL AFB, Utah --  The Loan Locker located at the Airman and Family Readiness Center will be closing effective Feb. 1, 2010.

The closure of the Loan Locker was needed due to new programs coming in and expansions of current programs.

"Our new program is the Exceptional Family Member Program and we will be expanding the Deployment Readiness Program," said Richard Leon, the Relocations Program Manager and Community Readiness Consultant at the AFRC.

Other services such as the Airman's Attic and Thrift Shop will remain open to all servicemembers and offer similar items that the Loan Locker did.

"The Airmen's Attic has items free of charge and the Thrift Shop has items at really great bargain prices. We should also remember that the Whole Baggage (unaccompanied) Shipment is meant for the specific purpose of having necessary items to get by with prior to arrival of your household goods shipment. Lastly, relocation allowances are given for the purpose of purchasing those necessary household items and other inconveniences associated with moving," said Leon.

With the closure taking place, there will be a sale of all items from the Loan Locker to make room for the new programs and expansion.

"There will be a non-appropriated funds sale of all items in the Loan Locker at discounted prices on Feb. 5, 2010 between the hours of 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the AFRC, building 150," said Janice Hollen, Chief of Airman and Family Services. The sale is open to all of Team Hill.

Some of the items for sale include household items such as pots and pans, dish packs, microwaves, toasters, air mattresses, futon mattress's, 13" TVs, VCRs, DVD players, baby play pens, strollers, and high chairs. Prices will not be advertised prior to the sale.

If you have any questions /concerns regarding the closure of the Loan Locker or need more information on the NAF sale, please contact the AFRC at (801)777-4681.
