I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity and honor to serve as the Chairperson of the Chambersburg Area Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) for 2011. As a native of South Central Pennsylvania, I have seen firsthand the generosity and compassion the local community shares within itself and around the world. Recently, natural disasters have become a common occurrence in the news. Coupled with tough economic times, organizations, who make it their mission to help others, are struggling to provide the support they want so much to provide to so many people in need. I see this as an opportunity for those of us who have been blessed with so much to help out those people who are in need. CFC is a great way to make a difference within our community, nation, and around the world.
Our area boasts a relatively large federal employee population, many of whom, have taken advantage of CFC’s leg work in identifying and qualifying charities, and the ease in which donations can be made. To those of you who have given in the past and continue to give, I send you my heartfelt thanks. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t see or experience the impact of your generosity within our community. To those of you who are new federal employees or have not been able to give in the past, I ask that you take a look at your finances to see what you can afford to give. What a great impact we can have if everyone would give at least $1.00 a pay period. Not only would we have a huge impact on the community, but, the satisfaction and pride that comes with knowing you helped a neighbor in need is a tremendous feeling.
As a Federal employee, you can donate hassle-free through the CFC, the world’s largest workplace giving campaign. You determine how much you want to donate and to which participating organization you want to give to. Even the smallest of donations can go a long way towards improving the lives of others and payroll deduction is the simplest way for you to contribute. Payroll deduction lets you spread your contribution across the entire year. For example if you make the minimum required payroll deduction contribution of $26.00 and are paid every two weeks for a total of 26 pay periods during the year, $1.00 will be deducted from your pay check each pay period. As you can see, spreading your contribution out over the year may allow you to contribute a larger amount and increase the benefits you can provide.
Through your federal employment, you have already demonstrated your commitment to America. The CFC is a great opportunity to further extend your public service by supporting charitable organizations which often provide services and benefits beyond what is available through the government. In the words of President John F. Kennedy, who established the CFC via Presidential Order in 1961, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Through the CFC you can make a difference in our community, our nation, and around the world.
Thank you for your generosity in this year’s campaign. Your contribution to the organization of your choice, along with the donations of other supporters, will go a long way to help many fellow citizens in need.
