Federal Employees Assist More Than 30 Agencies During Annual CFC Day of Caring
Aug. 28, 2003
More than 350 federal employees are expected to volunteer on Friday, August 29, in the Greater Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaign’s ninth annual Day of Caring.
“Federal employees in the Chattanooga area are known for volunteering their time and being generous givers to help those who are less fortunate,” said Ron Loving, TVA’s senior vice president of outage planning and execution and chair of the 2003 Greater Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaign. “By volunteering their time, talent and resources, Chattanooga-area employees can see firsthand how their contributions provide support and care to those in our community in times of need. ”
Employees from TVA, Chattanooga National Cemetery, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Postal Service, the U.S. Social Security Administration, the U.S. Trustee, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service will participate. Employees will provide hands-on assistance — such as painting, building, cleaning, and landscaping — to 33 local agencies that receive contributions from the CFC.
The CFC is held annually to give federal employees an opportunity to contribute to charitable, health, and human services organizations in 20 counties in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
TVA is the nation’s largest public power supplier, and its power system is self-financed. TVA provides power to large industries and 158 power distributors that serve 8.3 million consumers in seven southeastern states.
