The Combined Federal Campaign has its roots in the many charitable campaigns of the early 1960s. Federal employees created the CFC as one campaign to be administered once a year. By allowing employees to select from a single guide, and make their contributions through payroll deductions, the CFC opened the door to more opportunities for generous giving to literally hundreds of worthy causes. An Executive Order made the CFC a reality, and turned an innovative idea into a uniquely effective way for the Federal employees to help those in need across our community and throughout the world.
There are 23 Federal Agencies, 32 Post Offices, and 3100 Federal Employees in the Greater Wilkes-Barre Area Combined Federal Campaign. In 2002 and 2003, the CFC raised over $275,000.
