CAF Units Support Communities (and Each Other) During COVID-19

CAF Units and Members Are NOT Sitting Out The Pandemic 

You can't count good people and a good organization down when times get tough and the CAF is a sterling example.

In the past, CAF units and members have participated in honor flights, Make-A-Wish rides, and delivered supplies to communities in need. Today’s situation is no different, and CAF members continue to support their communities and each other.

In recent months due the COVID-19 pandemic, many have experienced hardships and many, like our first line responders and medical care workers, are working through extremely difficult days. In times of crisis, the members of the CAF have come together whenever possible to help and support each other and our country. +

CAF has sent us a short list of the many ways CAF members have brightened someone’s day by gestures - both big and small.
