Food For Thought

If half of the 38,000 federal employees in across the Metroplex—

donated $10.00 per pay check, the campaign would raise almost $5 million!

donated $15.00 per pay check, the campaign would raise almost $7.5 million!

The #1 reason federal workers do not give??

“NO ONE ASKED ME!!”

Thank everyone you speak with.

It takes several “thank you’s” before a person truly feels appreciated.
