The annual charity drive is the Air Force's only official charity drive and ends Dec. 4. The mission of the CFC is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient, and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all. The CFC is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with more than 200 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally to help to raise millions of dollars each year. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world. Contributions can be made via payroll deduction for Department of Defense civilians and air reserve technicians. Traditional reservists may donate via cash or check. For more information about the charity or making donations, contact unit CFC workers or Maj. Shane Toomay at 688-2419.
