INTER-SERVICE FAMILY ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE
The Inter-Service Family Assistance Committee (ISFAC) is a voluntary military
cooperative partnership organized to provide multi-service networking for training
and assistance to ensure “Total Force Family Readiness.” The main purpose
of this committee is to provide assistance to families regardless of service
component. The goal of the ISFAC is to strengthen existing family assistance
delivery systems in the event of mobilization, deployment, or natural disaster
through the interaction of committee members. In addition, the committee serves
the purpose of linking outside organizations (non-profits, faith based, and military
associations) and military branches together to make a stronger support network
for military personnel and their families throughout the State of California. Many
of ISFAC’s veteran support tools have proven to be effective in helping currently
serving military members and their families, and it is this inter-relationship that
has allowed CalVet to grow its support base with both professional and volunteer
assistance to veterans.
