Abilene Home Away from Home

Abilene Home Away from Home Abilene Home Away From Home is a private, non-profit organization created to assist first-term Airmen at Dyess Air Force Base just out of basic training.

It pairs these young service members with Abilene host families to introduce them to the local area and help alleviate the anxiety of being far from home. These community sponsors provide them a welcoming place to relax and offer opportunities to learn more about West Texas and have fun away from the stress and day-to-day requirements of life in the Air Force. The ultimate goal of Abilene Home Away From Home is to provide all eligible, first-term Airmen with a “home away from home.”

BBQ, a game of Tenzi and time spent visiting with these terrific Airmen is the best way to spend a Sunday evening ☺️

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Allan and Judy Farmer for their 9 years of service to the Abilene Home Away from Home program.

Their leadership, vision and steady guidance was instrumental in advancing our non-profit mission. Their countless volunteer hours made a lasting difference for the hundreds of Airmen that we have served. We are deeply grateful for all they have contributed and for the legacy they leave behind.

Thank you and God Speed, Allan & Judy!
