Volunteers Needed to Sort 1 Million Pounds of Donated Food
Take action now through June 11
A message from the LA County Federation of Labor:
Sisters & Brothers, Labor Community Services needs our help!
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), Branch 24 collected over a million pounds of food (yes, you read it correctly 1 MILLION), during this year’s annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on May 14. Now we need people to help us sort.
We need to get all this food to our union families and community pantries. This is a call to action! We’re asking local unions to adopt-a-day or send volunteers any day from today until June 11. Your help will be greatly appreciated!
To volunteer as a group with Local 47 members, please contact Communications Director Linda Rapka at 323.240.1849 or email linda.rapka@promusic47.org. You may also register online at laborcommunityservicesla.org.
