Combined Federal Campaign to Kick Off Oct 1

As part of the fabric of every American community, the U.S. Postal Service demonstrates good corporate citizenship each and every day. Our collective commitment to the Combined Federal Campaign is a prime example.

The CFC is the world's largest and most successful workplace charitable drive, and this year's campaign will kick off October 1. Last year federal employees and military personnel pledged over $283 million, setting a new CFC record.

The South Florida District's goal this year is $764,388.

There are more than 4,000 approved charities eligible to receive your donation --- organizations that provide human services, health care, medical research, disaster relief, housing, youth development, and much more. Locally, the benefits of the CFC charities come back to each one of us in the form of such things as a cleaner environment, a safer neighborhood, and a better education for our children.

In these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever to extend a helping hand through the CFC.
