Soldiers' Angels in CFC!
Soldiers’ Angels is proud to announce its inclusion in the 2009 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), an effort to encourage philanthropy among United States Government employees. This opportunity increases the organization’s visibility and respectability, building on its growing reputation for providing a wide variety of powerful and personalized support for service members, military families and veterans of all service branches.
During the yearly “campaign season” of September 1 through December 15, CFC provides federal civil servants, military personnel, political appointees and elected politicians with a list of verified and respectable charities they can be confident in supporting. Donations are collected through payroll deductions, offering employees the chance to make gifts that add up to substantial support over a twelve-month period.
Soldiers’ Angels founder Patti Patton-Bader says, “We’ve been working very hard to meet CFC’s guidelines and we are so thrilled to be a part of the campaign this year. It makes it so much easier for people to donate to Soldiers’ Angels and will help us continue the important work of taking care of our military and their families.”
As a CFC-approved charity, Soldiers’ Angels has been subject to extensive review of its financial and governance practices, auditing performance and program activities, ensuring federal employees can be confident in supporting the organization. The approved status also gives Soldiers’ Angels the opportunity to participate in meetings, exhibits and other events hosted at federal agencies and departments during campaign season, including providing speakers and other representatives.
The Soldiers' Angels CFC number is 25131.

Since my husband is military, people are always telling me they want to do something to give back. Recently I discovered "Soldiers Angels" and all that they do. I will be telling everyone that if they want to make a difference to donate their time or money to this wonderful program. You all are amazing! - Brenda
