It is my pleasure to kick off this year's Maine State Employees Combined Charitable Appeal (MSECCA) campaign with Department of Administrative and Financial Services Commissioner Kirsten Figueroa!
I deeply appreciate how state employees always go above and beyond to support Maine people. Your compassion and care for our state shines through every day, especially during the MSECCA campaign.
Last year, more than 1,300 state employees across 30 agencies raised over $470,000. This year, we're aiming even higher with a fundraising goal of $500,000. I know that we can reach that goal together.
For this year's MSECCA campaign, we are continuing to focus on supporting families across Maine who struggle to pay for essentials, like housing, child care, food and transportation.
Remember, MSECCA contributions are tax-deductible, and you have a wide range of charities to choose from. For example, you could donate $1 dollar every two weeks to provide 21 meals for older people in Maine; $2 a week to provide a month's worth of diapers for a newborn; or $20 a week to support transportation for cancer patients traveling to critical health care appointments.
The simplest way to help our friends, our family, and our fellow Mainers to make ends meet is to set up a payroll contribution through the MSECCA campaign. Every dollar makes a difference.
Visit www.maine.gov/msecca to make your pledge today.
Since MSECCA began in 1996, state employees like you have contributed over $12 million to causes that have profoundly improved the lives of Maine people.
It's time once again to contribute what we can and to encourage our colleagues to do the same. Will you join me in donating as we kick off this year's MSECCA campaign?
Thank you for all that you do — for our state and for one another.
Sincerely,
Janet T. Mills
Governor
