Hello. I'm Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense.
Every year, America's outstanding Federal employees step up and give back
through the Combined Federal Campaign.
This campaign is a great opportunity to donate your money or your time to a cause that matters to you, like helping those in need, protecting the environment, or supporting military families.
Year after year, I'm proud of this department's generous contributions, through the Combined Federal Campaign, from both civilians and those in uniform.
And I'm asking all DoD employees to give again this year, or to consider donating for the first time.
So, please check out GiveCFC.org, pick a cause that speaks to you, and you can choose from thousands of local, national, and international groups.
You can help your charity through a one-time donation, or an ongoing payroll deduction.
Or you can support an important cause by donating your time as a volunteer.
But no matter how you give, our contributions together, make a huge difference.
So, thanks for being a part of this year's Combined Federal Campaign,
And thanks for all that you do to take care of your communities, and to keep our country safe.
