NATCA DISASTER RELIEF FUND – PAYROLL DEDUCTION NOW AVAILABLE
After the hurricanes last year, our Union provided vital assistance through the NATCA
Disaster Relief Fund to over 140 members in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. NATCA also has been able to send over $25,000 in relief supplies to
these areas. But even with this support, so much more need for help exists. Please
consider a donation to the NATCA Disaster Relief Fund. All donations to this Fund
directly support our NATCA brothers and sisters in need.
Also, NATCA is making it easier for members to continue giving. In addition to donating
through the existing GoFundMe effort, NATCA members now can spread out their
contributions over multiple pay periods by donating through an automatic payroll
deduction.
