Dear Colleagues,

It is my honor to celebrate with you a successful close to the 2020 USDA CFC campaign period.

Through your hard work, you provided a special and unique opportunity for USDA to directly give back to our fellow citizens through local, national and international charities in a personal and impactful way.

Your efforts resulted in the 2020 USDA CFC exceeding its goal in the National Capital Area by $100,000, raising $551,846 through contributions and volunteer commitments to the CFC, and raising just over $1.7 million across the country.

Due to the global pandemic, this year's campaign was like no other campaign in the history of the CFC. You, the USDA Team, CFC coordinators and key workers and colleagues across USDA found a way to embrace the virtual forum as an opportunity to share the CFC message with all employees USDA-wide. Your expression of leadership and generosity within the USDA federal workforce reflects our commitment to improving our world.

On behalf of the Office of the Secretary and the Natural Resources and Environment mission area, please join us in viewing the pre-recorded 2020 USDA CFC closeout awards ceremony (embedded below) celebrating a job well done.

Thank you for your leadership, commitment and generosity to help USDA Show Some Love and Be the Face of Change through the 2020 CFC donation period.

We are now gearing up for the 2021 campaign season, and we look forward to your continued support.

Sincerely,

Melissa Aulisio
2020 CFC Vice-Chair
