Federal employees can show some love by participating in Combined Federal Campaign

On Jan. 15, the Office of Personnel Management’s acting director approved an extension of the 2018 Combined Federal Campaign. An exact end date has yet to be determined, but payroll allotments, bank drafts, and recurring credit card donations will be delayed until after the lapse in appropriations ends and paychecks are deposited to furloughed employees’ bank accounts.

What does this mean?

If you haven’t had a chance to complete a pledge through the CFC, it isn’t too late! The online pledge portal remains open for monetary and volunteer time pledges, and you can still submit a paper pledge to your CFC representative. 

CFC support is so critical to participating charities and the people they help, including those in our own community. Maybe now, more than ever. If you can spare anything this upcoming year, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps so much.
