Each fall, Department of Defense uniformed and civilian personnel demonstrate their generosity by making contributions through the Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas.
The 2011 campaign began Oct. 3, and in just nine weeks since the campaign’s launch, personnel in the five overseas combatant commands have pledged more than $11 million to help people in need in military communities, across the nation and around the world. Recognizing the need is greater than ever this year, the U.S. Africa Command, U.S. Central Command, U.S. European Command and U.S. Southern Command have extended their campaigns for an additional 12 days through Thursday.
The campaign, managed by Global Impact, comprises more than 2,500 organizations working to address critical needs and aid recovery efforts around the world. Many of the charities that benefit from the CFC-O resources support reintegration programs for service members overseas, as well as various other programs for veterans, active-duty service members and their families.
CFC-O contributors have the option of donating through traditional paper pledge cards or e-Giving. Contributors can also elect to support their local overseas military communities through the Family Support and Youth Programs. Donations to FSYP are returned to the installation to support quality of life programs.
