Each year around this time, we give thanks for all the joy in our lives, from family and friends to a roof over our heads and food on the table. Not everyone is as fortunate.
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) has designated Tuesday, November 27, as #GivingTuesday, a social media-fueled movement and a day for supporting philanthropy. With this year’s “Show Some Love” campaign well underway, employees may voluntarily support those who need it most by giving through the CFC at https://sunshinecfc.org/. You may make a contribution of any amount you choose — via payroll deduction or a one-time gift — on #GivingTuesday. The goal is to fully embody the spirit of giving on #GivingTuesday by bringing in the greatest number of pledges within one 24-hour period.
Did you know that for just $34 — a little less than $3 per month —you can provide 100 meals to homeless individuals? Or that just one gift of $100 plants 100 trees? That and more is made possible because of the buying power and partnerships that charities have in place. Through them, our voluntary gifts make a greater difference. Consider brown-bagging it once or twice a month and donating the cost of a fast-food lunch through payroll deduction. Your donation can help feed a hungry veteran, child, or homeless individual.
The CFC is the largest and most successful workplace charitable giving drive in the world. The CFC is the only authorized charitable organization solicitation of federal employees in their workplace.
