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 />
