PCS JTF Call Center


Scott AFB has established a new  PCS Joint Task Force for assistance with Permanent Change of Station moves. The PCS JTF Call Center is staffed with subject matter experts able to directly assist service members to keep and get their PCS back on track. Their Facebook account PCS Joint Task Force has all of the relevant links, numbers and email addresses for the JTF and Call Center. Their phone number is 833-MIL-MOVE; email address is PCSCallCenter@mail.mil.
 

Combined Federal Campaign Season


The annual Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) season is open until Dec. 31.

CFC is the federal government’s workplace giving program.

If you’ve never donated before, it is a good idea to take you a few moments now to set up your account. You must use login.gov to authenticate and enter your information to set up your profile. Once you have set up your profile you can complete a pledge should you choose to do so. You also will not be required to reinitiate a new profile, thereby simplifying the process in the future. 
 
  • These charities play a vital role in sustaining our communities, just as many in the federal community may have needed them when they stepped in to help during this past furlough with food, financial support, childcare, and many other services. Without the CFC, these organizations will lose millions of dollars in critical funding, negatively impacting their ability to help those in need in our community in the future.  
 
  • This year’s CFC theme is “Your gift. Their future.” It reflects the powerful impact that collective generosity can have. If you are able to give, even a few dollars or a few hours of volunteer time, you will pay it forward and help these organizations support a colleague (or even you) during a future time of need.  
 
Consider CFC’s most popular donation method, payroll deduction, which means that you can set it up now, and it won’t start coming out of your paycheck until 2026. Visit GiveCFC.org and click the DONATE button to get started. Text-to-Donate is also super easy and convenient — you can give as little as $10.00 with just a few taps of the phone, and you don’t need to set up an account. Just text the word ‘Give’ to 232669 and click the first link in the reply text (Give Now).  

Please visit GiveCFC.org and click the DONATE button to get started. If you don’t want to search for a charity using the GiveCFC website, you can download a Charity List PDF here: 25CFC-Charity-List.pdf

LT Tim Bosserman and YNC Andrew Oxford are the official NASWI CFC representatives this year and will be the points of contact for information about this year’s campaign season, including assistance on how you can participate.
