State Employees Federated Appeal - What is it and how can I help?
NOVEMBER IS SEFA PARTICIPATION MONTH!
NO GIFT IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE AN IMPACT!
SEFA provides ALL New York State employees (CSEA, UUP, PEF, COUNCIL 82 etc.) the opportunity to support a network of local, national and international community services all year long through payroll deduction. Your gift to SEFA helps people cope with the kinds of problems many of us hope we will never have to face (fires, floods, lack of food and shelter). SEFA serves State employees and thousands of others who are less fortunate. Your generosity is the most effective way to improve their quality of life.
Your contribution goes directly to the charity of your choosing.
