Exchange giving military shoppers chance to win prizes on Facebook every Free Friday

CAMP FOSTER, OKINAWA – Social media is a great way for military communities to stay connected during the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s why the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is inviting military shoppers at Camp Foster and installations worldwide to sound off on Facebook every Free Friday for the chance to win some serious prizes.

Authorized Exchange shoppers can enter each Free Friday drawing by simply replying to the question posed on the Free Friday post at facebook.com/ShopMyExchange. Past winners have received prizes such as a new GrillSmith Executive Series 5-burner gas grill, a Courtyard Creations seven-piece patio dining set, a Husqvarna riding lawnmower, an IZOD bedding and bath set, and a Serta Perfect Sleeper Queen mattress.

“Warfighters and military families are under a tremendous amount of stress right now, so we hope this year’s lineup of Free Friday drawings gives them the chance to take their minds off the uncertainty,” said Camp Foster Exchange Sales Area Manager Coley Soderlund. “Exchange shoppers have won $83,611 in Free Friday prizes since we started this program, so it has definitely paid off for our lucky winners.”

Replies must be posted on the same day of the Free Friday post to be entered into the drawing. Drawings are held on the Monday after each Free Friday giveaway. Entries made by 11:59 p.m. Central on the day of the posting will be entered into the drawing.

Honorably discharged Veterans who have verified their eligibility to shop the Exchange online can also enter the weekly drawings. Veterans can find out more on the Exchange’s community Hub page at https://bit.ly/Vets4Life.
