        AFA Disaster Relief Fund – Hawaii Wildfires

        August 12, 2023 09:00

        AFA International

        The devastation caused by the recent wildfires in Hawaii is truly heartbreaking. The loss and damage inflicted on the community are immense, and our thoughts are with those affected by this disaster. For impacted Flight Attendants whose primary residence is in Maui County, Hawaii, we want to remind you that the AFA Disaster Relief Fund can assist during this difficult time. We hope this support can provide some relief as you navigate through the aftermath of this crisis.

        About the AFA Disaster Relief Fund

        We know that disasters can change lives forever. While we can’t stop destructive events from happening, we can, as a Union, assist our members with their recovery. AFA established the Disaster Relief Fund after September 11th to assist our members whose lives were placed in harm’s way. AFA members and retirees, whose primary residences are in the counties listed on the FEMA website are eligible for $200.00 from the AFA-CWA Disaster Relief Fund. It is a gift made possible by the generosity of your fellow Union siblings with AFA.  (See the AFA website for links to the FEMA site: www.afacwa.org/drf.)

        If you would like to apply for AFA-CWA Disaster Relief Funds, visit www.afacwa.org/drf and download the Disaster Relief Fund Application.  You can email the application information to lfoster@afanet.org or fax the completed application to (301) 253-2790 (no cover sheet necessary).

        If you wish to contribute to the fund either by check or electronic payment, please visit www.afacwa.org/drf for more information on donating.
