If you haven't had a chance to donate to the Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas, it’s not too late.

The campaign has been extended to Dec. 15, 2016.

The CFC-O is an annual workplace giving campaign for the five overseas unified combatant commands. It allows Department of Defense uniformed and civilian personnel to donate to their favorite charities.

This year’s theme is ‘Show Some Love.’ Contributing to one of the thousands of charities the CFC-O offers will allow you to touch the lives of the most vulnerable.

Here are a few ways you can ‘Show Some Love’:
• $10 provides two vaccines for a puppy or kitten.
• $20 provides a hot meal to a struggling military family.
• $58 teaches a child or adult to read.
• $75 sends eight exam tables to establish remote medical care clinics.
• $100 provides two tool kits that help families rebuild their lives.

Contributors can also give back to the local Family Support and Youth Programs fund. FYSP donations are returned to overseas military installations and are invested in quality of life programs for uniformed service members, federal civilians and their families.

The CFC offers three options to donate:
• Electronic payroll allotments through DFAS myPay
• eGiving payments using a credit card, debit card or electronic bank transfer
• Traditional paper pledge cards

In 2015, the campaign raised nearly $7 million to help those in need, demonstrating the selfless generosity of the overseas Department of Defense uniformed and civilian personnel.
