Michigan State Employees Charitable Campaign Kicks Off
The Michigan State Employees’ Charitable Campaign (SECC) kicked off September 13 and runs to October 15. This year’s campaign incorporates "Community Connect," an opportunity for state employees to volunteer at many of the local agencies included in the State Employees Campaign. This is another way that state employees can make a real difference in the life of their community.
It’s no secret: these are some challenging times for state employees. But for many of our fellow citizens, the situation is far more difficult. Whether it’s a friend trying to find work, a neighbor struggling to keep her home, or a family member in need of a cure, the needs are all around us and they are real. That is why The State of Michigan joins thousands of employers everywhere in inviting its workers and retirees to do their part in helping to meet community needs. Last year, over $1.5 million was contributed by state employees.
By working together through the State Employees Charitable Campaign, state employees can contribute to over 1,000 local, state, and national charities. All participating organizations have met the highest standards of both program and fiscal accountability. Information regarding each organization can be found on the www.misecc.org website. State employees can pledge on-line through their MI-HR Self-Service account.
Char-Em United Way serves as the SECC Local Campaign Operating Agency for Charlevoix, Emmet, Cheboygan, Crawford, and Otsego Counties. Local United Ways in those counties are available to provide information about local programs, arrange agency tours, provide speakers, etc. for state workplaces in their communities.
