Organized Labor Working to Expand Impact in Community

Labor unions have been partners with United Way for more than sixty years.  Traditionally, unions have worked with us through workplace campaigns to raise funds for United Way.  This year, because of the downturn in the economy, workplace campaigns are bringing in less money because of lay-offs and plant closings.  Unions such as the Western Reserve Building Trades, Teamsters 377, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 396, UAW Local 1112, UAW Local 1714, AFSCME District 8 and many member unions of organized labor are stepping forward to help even more in these hard economic times.  What they are doing is making the principle of working together a reality, impacting all who live in our Valley, making this a community of neighbors.

1. Coat drive to get 375 coats donated for needy
2. Raising funds for holiday baskets for out of work union members
3. Toy drive for children through Salvation Army and Toys for Tots
4. Repairing Food Pantry at church in Lake Milton so 100 families can continue to get help
