Hi! For all of those who are in the service, the CFC helps to do that :) It is short for the Combined Federal Campaign. It takes all the money that is donated and distributes it between different charities. The donor can choose what charity the donation goes to or just make a general donation.
One of the foundations (can't remember a specific name) goes to the families in need of soldiers who are deployed. Most of us take a payroll deduction for the donation every month, but you can donate in lump sum. Every donation counts, no matter how small or big it is. I am not sure if civilians can donate, but I will find out ASAP.
I have some other agencies on a list somewhere for a drive my squadron did, so I will go and try to find that for you...
Thanks, I appreciate it.
