Thanksgiving is a time of year when people give thanks, but it also can be a great time to give back to those who are in need.

Read Pat and Jesus's stories.  They are CFCNCA beneficiaries that went served others as a result of the support and assistance they received through their respective charities.

Pat’s Story:

The CFCNCA Best Practices Forum brought together federal workers, specifically Campaign Managers and Coordinators, who are well into the 2012 campaign season.  These campaign workers lead coordinated efforts to promote giving within their agencies and strengthen donor engagement and participation from senior management to administrative staff.

When the time came to recruit and engage new federal donors  for the 2012 Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA), the Emerging Leadership Council (ELC) stepped up to the challenge.

The ELC, formerly known as the Young Donors Advisory Council (YDAC) began as a simple research project in 2011 when its creator, Cassie Grose, Marketing and Communications Manager for Global Impact, decided to establish focus groups, which aimed to determine how to engage first-time CFCNCA participants.

Millions of people from the Caribbean to Maine felt the pounding effects of Hurricane Sandy as it pummeled coastlines and devastated coastal communities. Communities suffered what many are saying is the most severe tropical storm in years; as a result of the storm, people found themselves with limited or no electricity, flooded streets, and severely damaged homes.
