A new USPS video highlights the importance of the Combined Federal Campaign — the federal government’s annual workplace giving program — and urges employees to make a difference in the lives of others.
The campaign, also known as the CFC, represents thousands of charities under one umbrella. It began Oct. 1 and continues through Dec. 31.
“Serving the public is the heart of our shared mission. The CFC gives us an opportunity to do even more for the communities we serve,” Postmaster General David Steiner says in the video.
“Together, we can make a difference — for our communities, our country, and the people who count on us,” he says.
Last year, USPS employees pledged more than $2.6 million in cash and more than 21,000 volunteer hours. The goal this year is $3 million.
In addition to Steiner, the video also features comments from:
• Ivan Butts, president of the National Association of Postal Supervisors;
• James Dunlap, national executive director of United Postmasters and Managers of America;
• Patrick Pitts, vice president of the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association;
• Elizabeth Powell, secretary-treasurer of the American Postal Workers Union;
• Brian Renfroe, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers; and
• Kevin Tabarus, secretary-treasurer of the National Postal Mail Handlers Union.
The online CFC Donor Pledging System has more information, along with a gateway page that allows participants to easily find a CFC-approved charity.
