HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. – With one month remaining in the installation’s Combined Federal Campaign, more than $19,000, or approximately 40 percent, has been collected toward the $50,000 goal.
The last day to donate to Hanscom AFB’s CFC is Jan. 13. The theme for this year is “Give Happy.”
“As the Combined Federal Campaign draws to a close next month, let’s seize this opportunity to make a lasting difference together,” said Master Sgt. Christopher Crean, installation CFC co-coordinator. “Your contribution reaches far beyond the workplace, it resonates in the lives we touch and the communities we uplift.”
Donors have four ways to give: pledge online, complete a paper pledge form, the CFC Giving mobile app, or text “Donate” to 978-487-5678. Federal employees can also pledge volunteer hours to charities that accept them.
Participants may choose to give a one-time donation or deduct a certain amount from each paycheck. To learn more about the ways to donate, visit https://givecfc.org/donors.
Among the charities donors may choose is Friends of Family Services, a 501 (c)(3) private organization. This Hanscom AFB-based charity provides support to the community through gift baskets for new babies, support to Hearts Apart events and to the Exceptional Family Member Program. The code for Friends of Family Services is 33931.
Hanscom AFB personnel are encouraged to contact an office keyworker for assistance with submitting a pledge. For those unsure who their unit’s keyworker is, contact Tech. Sgt. Katsiaryna Durant, installation CFC co-coordinator, at katsiaryna.v.durant.mil@health.mil or Crean at christopher.crean@us.af.mil.
Federal organizations in the region are part of the New England CFC.
The CFC is administered by the Office of Personnel Management and is the official workplace giving campaign for federal employees and retirees.
