December kicks off with two red-letter days for the Combined Federal Campaign.
It begins with Giving Tuesday on Dec. 2, the most important day of the year for many of the campaign’s charities. Some rely on this one day to fund an entire year’s worth of services.
Friday, Dec. 5, is International Volunteer Day, which the United Nations began in 1985 to recognize people who use their time and talent to support charitable organizations.
The campaign uses this day to remind federal employees that they can donate volunteer hours for charities in addition to, or instead of, making monetary donations.
The Combined Federal Campaign, also known as the CFC, is the federal government’s largest workplace charity drive.
The Postal Service’s goal is to raise $3 million this year.
Pledges can be made through payroll deduction, on paper or online through the CFC mobile app.
The campaign will conclude Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Employees with questions can email the Postal Service’s CFC team.
