CFC #11185

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:43:22 +0000

Friends and supporters of FEEA know that donations during the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) are what keeps us going all year long. CFC is FEEA's biggest fundraiser of the year, providing about two-thirds of the funding for our annual scholarship program, and forming the foundation of our emergency loan and disaster grant program. Pledges to CFC #11185 go right back into the federal community -- that's the "feds helping feds" message that's so important to FEEA. Even $1 per pay period can make a difference for a federal employee in need.

If you have already designated #11185 in this year's campaign, THANK YOU! And if you haven't yet chosen your charities, please consider making FEEA your choice in the 2011 CFC. Every gift makes a difference for federal families.

For feds in Bastrop and elsewhere around Texas, the last two weeks have been a difficult and frightening time.

If you are a federal employee or a retiree NARFE member affected by the fires, help is available. Disaster grants of up to $500 are available now.

Donations to FEEA's Natural Disaster Fund and NARFE's Natural Disaster Fund are now helping families in Texas, as well as those affected by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. If you would like to help, please give today.

Hurricane Irene Recovery

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:38:06 +0000

Feds in the Washington, DC, area seem to have been spared the worst of Hurricane Irene, but others up and down the East Coast and on into upstate New York and Vermont are reeling from the after-effects of high winds and water. Flooding is expected to continue for days. Feds who experienced damage to their homes or other property due to the hurricane may apply for FEEA disaster grants of up to $500. More information and a link to the application can be found on our Disasters page.

Recovery from the serious tornadoes earlier this year put a strain on FEEA's Natural Disaster Fund. Donations of $10 or more are needed now to ensure we will be able to help everyone affected by Hurricane Irene. Please give today to help your fellow federal employees.
