USDA: Giving Tuesday virtual charity fair
Mark your calendars! On Tuesday, Nov. 30, we will be hosting a Giving Tuesday Virtual Charity Fair. This Giving Tuesday, please help those in need and change a life by giving to a cause important to you. Stop by between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to listen to the charity of your choice. We look forward to having you join us to celebrate 60 years of giving on the most important day of the campaign! The agenda can be found below.
About Giving Tuesday: Giving Tuesday is a global day of charity celebrated on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Federal employees have turned this day into the biggest giving day of the annual campaign, and we hope to see the same in 2021! From helping those who are homeless, hungry, unable to attend school, facing health complications or struggling to get on their feet, the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area has thousands of charities that work tirelessly to fulfill important missions and make our world a better place.
Thank you for being the face of change and joining the CFCNCA community this year for Giving Tuesday. We look forward to making a difference with you!
