USPS employees have pledged $1.7 million and 1,454 volunteer hours so far during the latest Combined Federal Campaign, the government’s annual workplace charity drive.
The Postal Service’s fundraising goal is $3 million.
A virtual event to encourage employees to participate in the campaign, also known as the CFC, will be held Wednesday, Jan. 8.
The event is open to all employees, although nonexempt employees must be off the clock or on authorized breaks. The Zoom link and passcode are available on LiteBlue.
The deadline for employees, contractors and retirees to donate to the CFC is Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Participants can research and donate to the campaign’s nearly 5,000 charities through the CFC website or the CFC Giving mobile app.
Paper pledge forms are also available for those who prefer not to donate electronically.
The CFC has raised $8.7 billion for its many causes since it was established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
The Postal Service is regularly among the campaign’s top 10 contributors.
