For military families, every dollar saved makes a difference—and The Exchange continues to deliver added value through innovative partnerships. One of the most exciting benefits launched in 2023: a collaboration between The Exchange and The Home Depot, giving service members, retirees, Veterans, and their families even more ways to save on home improvement needs.

What is The Exchange?

The Exchange (AAFES) has been proudly serving military communities since 1895, offering tax-free shopping both in-store and online. From electronics and apparel to household essentials, The Exchange ensures military families have access to everyday goods at competitive prices. Plus, shopping with The Exchange gives back—earnings are reinvested into Quality-of-Life programs that directly support service members and their families worldwide.

The Exchange + Home Depot: A Powerful Partnership

Through the Exchange Online Mall, military shoppers can now access exclusive savings with The Home Depot, the nation’s largest home improvement retailer. You can take advantage of this partnership by shopping through ShopMyExchange.com or MyNavyExchange.com—both sites connect you to Home Depot’s wide selection of tools, appliances, garden supplies, and more.

Here’s how this partnership benefits military shoppers:

1. Tax-Free Shopping
   Purchases made through the Exchange portal remain tax-free, which means bigger savings on everything from paint and flooring to major appliances and outdoor furniture.

2. Stackable Military Discount
   Home Depot already provides a 10% military discount to eligible service members and Veterans. Pairing that with the Exchange’s tax-free benefit helps maximize savings on both small projects and big-ticket items.

3. Seamless Access
   Whether you use ShopMyExchange.com or MyNavyExchange.com, you’ll have direct access to Home Depot’s extensive product catalog—making it simple to shop for everything you need to complete your next DIY project or prepare for a PCS move.

4. Giving Back
   Every purchase made through The Exchange supports the larger military community by funding morale, welfare, and recreation programs on bases worldwide.

Why This Matters for Military Families

Military life often comes with frequent moves, unique housing challenges, and the need to make temporary spaces feel like home.
