INTER-SERVICE FAMILY ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE<br />

The Inter-Service Family Assistance Committee (ISFAC) is a voluntary military<br />

cooperative partnership organized to provide multi-service networking for training<br />

and assistance to ensure “Total Force Family Readiness.” The main purpose<br />

of this committee is to provide assistance to families regardless of service<br />

component. The goal of the ISFAC is to strengthen existing family assistance<br />

delivery systems in the event of mobilization, deployment, or natural disaster<br />

through the interaction of committee members. In addition, the committee serves<br />

the purpose of linking outside organizations (non-profits, faith based, and military<br />

associations) and military branches together to make a stronger support network<br />

for military personnel and their families throughout the State of California. Many<br />

of ISFAC’s veteran support tools have proven to be effective in helping currently<br />

serving military members and their families, and it is this inter-relationship that<br />

has allowed CalVet to grow its support base with both professional and volunteer<br />

assistance to veterans.<br />
