JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Office of Administration today announced that this year’s Missouri State Employee Charitable Campaign (MSECC) exceeded donations of $1 million for the 13th consecutive year, with more than $1,102,545.00 donated to 895 Missouri charities.

“Once again, I am so impressed by our state employees and their families for their generosity shown through the Missouri State Employee Charitable Campaign,” said Office of Administration Commissioner Doug Nelson. “To think that nearly $30 million has been donated to organizations across the state is truly humbling, and I am incredibly proud of the impact this campaign has made on Missourians in need.”
