Today is Family Volunteer Day. We are sharing just a few stories of CAP members and their families who put service before self. Please share your own family story of volunteerism in the comments.

Giving back to the community is a family affair for the Dotson family. With two Civil Air Patrol members, Cadet Tech. Sgt. Jade Dotson and 2nd Lt. Justin Dotson, serving others is in the Dotson’s DNA. The CAP members from the McChord Composite Squadron in our Washington Wing also volunteer within the greater community. Recently, the entire family helped honor veterans at a school-sponsored event. Participants provided breakfast to those attending, and each veteran received handwritten thank-you cards from students.

“It was a wonderful way to honor my own grandfather and grandmother who are U.S. Army and U.S. Navy veterans,” Jade Dotson said.

In addition, Dotson and her mother, Jennifer, rallied Girl Scout Troop No. 43153 to support the Tacoma Rescue mission in preparing meals for community members in need, and the entire family volunteered to organize and sort furniture at the NW Furniture Bank, which provides affordable home goods to community members who need them.

We are grateful for the Dotson family for all they do in their local community and for embodying CAP’s core value of volunteer service.
