Maintenance employees boost CFC campaign to almost $10,000

North Florida District Combined Federal Campaign Chair Tammy Ross reports that Jacksonville Maintenance employees do more than keeping processing equipment running and Postal  facilities looking good. 

In the first weeks of CFC campaign, they are Giving From the Heart just like this year's theme.. 

In the first week and they donated over $4,000 and more than doubled their giving in week two which now totals more than $9,600. 

Maintenance Support Clerk Jeanie Austin, the primary CFC volunteer for the Maintenance Department, said, "The key is personally speaking to each employee and sharing the importance of giving to charities."
