2024 Holiday Season Food and Clothing Drives
Clothing Drive
The Human Rights Committee of CWA 4502 collected items for the Miracle on Long Street Holiday Giveaway during November and December. All donated items were taken to the Holiday Giveaway on Saturday, Dec. 14, at St. Dominic’s Parish Center. People in need could register to attend and get a coat, a hot meal, and other needed items. We collected 34 Coats, 58 shirts, 15 sweaters, 27 pairs of pants, 17 purses, 46 toiletry items, and an assortment of other items for a total of 244 donated items.
Special thanks to Cindy, Diann, Erika, and Melanie, for helping represent our union by volunteering to sort and arrange donations for the guests and to Joya and Susan for each dropping off a carload of donations.
Food Drive
We collected 434 items for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. It was 456 pounds of food!!! We beat last year’s record of 350 pounds which I did not expect. We also collected $260 in donations to Christmas Cares/Union Shares at St. Stephens. Thank you to Cindy, Joyce, Jeff, and Glen for helping haul food in and out of the union hall.
