Autumn is enrollment time for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) for federal employees and those in military service. Please consider supporting VDF programs by placing our official CFC campaign number #2527 on the pledge card. Please ask anyone you know who works for the federal government or the military to help us in this way.
