NOSCO operates the Navy Fleet Gift Shop (NFGS). The purpose of NFGS is to raise funds for NOSCO and to provide quality of life shopping for military families. Of the profits given to NOSCO, a portion is given to educational scholarships. The remainder is submitted to the American Women's Welfare Association (AWWA), which in turn gives contributions to both American and Japanese charities.
We invite you to become a volunteer at our stores. Not only will your time benefit charitable organizations, it's a great opportunity to meet people, have a first look at new merchandise and participate in early buying when unpacking, quality for buy trips, and most importantly…have fun!
If you're interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the Navy Fleet Gift Shop (staff@navyfleetgiftshop.com or 643-7841) for more information.

Here's What Our Volunteers Have to Say…
One of the aspects of NFGS work I value most is that it gives spouses a chance for meaningful community involvement. For those with a business background, there are opportunities to maintain skills in management, merchandising, marketing, etc. More amazing still, it gives people (like me) with no previous retail experience a chance to step outside our previous career path and, in a supportive environment, try something new.
For me, the Gift Shop and its world of import buying...and of course the phenomenal sums of money we channel toward helping people has in its own way been as much a cultural experience...as has living in a foreign country.
