Employees have a source of charitable giving through Community Health Charities (CHC) and it is time again for our annual giving campaign!  Community Health Charities is dedicated to regional health-based non-profits such as American Diabetes Association – Iowa Area, Epilepsy Foundation of North / Central Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, and Vera French, just to name a few.  Your donation can even be earmarked for a specific charity.

Now is the time to elect any payroll deductions you may wish to make to Community Health Charities.  The pledge drive will be through August 2nd.   Employee payroll deductions from last year will end August 11th.  (You must complete a new pledge to continue last year’s deduction.)  CHC payroll deductions for this campaign will begin with the August 25th paycheck.   

This year we are excited to offer the opportunity to make your pledges online through CHC’s new online giving portal accessible here https://scottcountyiowa.healthcharities.stratuslive.com/.  Employees received a Welcome Email from CHC with information on how to sign in and use the online portal to make a pledge should you wish to do so.  If you did not receive a Welcome Email and wish to access the online giving portal please contact Hiliary in Human Resources.  You will have the ability to make a pledge either by payroll deductions, cash or check, or credit card payment.   

You may still make pledges via the paper pledge forms which can be found in the attachments or they are available in HR.

All online pledges should be completed by August 2nd.  If you wish to use the paper pledge forms these should be returned to the Human Resources Department by August 2nd as well.
