USPS employees pledged $2.8 million during the most recent Combined Federal Campaign, which ended Jan. 15. Including the monetary value of more than 2,100 volunteer hours pledged, the total USPS contribution was $2.85 million.
“Every year, Postal Service employees come through for the Combined Federal Campaign — and the 2023-24 campaign was no exception,” said Myriam Irizarry, a USPS program and policy analyst who serves as the campaign manager for headquarters employees.
The amount pledged was roughly on par with the $2.9 million raised in the 2022-23 campaign.
Among the four retail and delivery areas, Southern led with more than $816,000 in pledges. Eastern led the two processing regions with $409,000 in pledges, while Atlantic topped the four logistics regions with $90,000 in pledges.
Employees at USPS headquarters in Washington, DC, donated $441,000 and more than 1,300 volunteer hours, bringing their total contribution to $471,500.
The campaign, also known as the CFC, is the federal government’s annual workplace charity drive. Since its founding 1961, the campaign has raised more than $86 billion.
USPS is regularly one of the top 10 fundraisers in the campaign.
