Donate to Help Fellow Flight Attendants in California

As hundreds of thousands of Southern California residents flee from uncontrolled wildfires, AFA-CWA is preparing for the needs of our members who have been or will be affected by this latest weather-related disaster. As with the Gulf Coast hurricane disaster two years ago, AFA-CWA is actively soliciting donations for the AFA Disaster Relief Fund that will be distributed to members impacted by the California fires.

Please consider making a donation to help your fellow flight attendants whose lives are being critically disrupted at this very moment. Donations may be made by credit card on the AFA-CWA International website (www.afanet.org) or checks can be made out to 'AFA Disaster Relief Fund' and sent directly to the International Office at AFA Disaster Relief Fund, 501 Third Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20001.

If you have been evacuated from your home, please contact the American Red Cross at either 1-800-redcross or go to https://disastersafe.redcross.org/ to list your "safe and well" status or, if you know of someone who has been evacuated, please encourage them to do the same. Family and friends of Southern California residents can use the American Red Cross site to confirm the safety of loved ones and to view postings. Since it was established on October 22, over 500 American families have listed their status with this Internet service.
