A time to give Published Dec. 27, 2013 By Senior Airman Elizabeth Van Patten 94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Members of Dobbins Air Reserve Base are invited to contribute to this year's Combined Federal Campaign, which will conclude Jan. 10. Brande Newsome, 94th Airlift Wing CFC coordinator, will be the local source of CFC information and collector of donations. "CFC is an opportunity for the federal workforce to contribute to a local, national or international charity of their choice, " said Newsome. " Our goal within the 94th AW and 22nd Air Force staff is $30,000. If every person gave roughly $17, we could meet our goal today." The CFC is a one-stop shop for charities, so Department of Defense members don't have to go out and search for causes. It's all in one book. Regardless of your passion - if its people, plants, the planet, illnesses or pretty much anything else - you can find a good place for you to contribute money. Civilian members can contribute through pay roll deduction if they wish. They can give a little each month and that will add up. The 94th AW exceeded the goal of $30,000 last year, according to Capt. Melissa Z. Greene, 94th AW executive officer and 2012 CFC coordinator. "I enjoy doing CFC because giving back is one of my passions," said Greene. "I challenge anyone to look through the CFC book and not find something that they care about. Everything is in the book, and they make it easy to give." Traditional reservists can give a cash or check donation. Units can fund raise together and contribute as a group and choose their preferred charity or give to the general fund, which is split amongst all the charities. If you wish to donate by check, please make them payable to "Combined Federal Campaign" and give them to your unit CFC representative.
