Postal Service employees pledged $2.7 million during the most recent Combined Federal Campaign, the federal government’s annual workplace charity drive.
This includes monetary pledges of $2.67 million and the monetary value of more than 2,100 volunteer hours.
“Once again, Postal Service employees have shown they put their money — and time — where their hearts are,” said Myriam Irizarry, a USPS program and policy analyst who serves as the national campaign manager for the organization.
Among the Postal Service’s four retail and delivery areas, Southern led with $798,000 in pledges. Eastern led the two processing regions, with more than $295,000 in pledges, while Atlantic topped the four logistics regions, with pledges that exceeded $61,000.
Employees at USPS headquarters surpassed their goal of $500,000 by donating $515,000. This includes $478,000 in monetary pledges and the monetary value of 1,500 volunteer hours.
Since its founding in 1961, the campaign, also known as the CFC, has raised more than $8.7 billion for people in need.
The latest campaign began Sept. 1, 2024, and concluded Jan. 15.
