Greetings,
Food Drive 2009
Since many
of you do your food shopping on the weekend, Karen asked that
you be reminded that the WPCLB is collecting food for those in
need. This year it is even more important because so many of our
own members are out of work and have been forced to go to the
food pantries for help. If any of your locals have been helping
their members provide food for their families, we would like to
know so some of the food we collect can help
them.
While you
are out shopping please pick up a few extra items to help with
the drive. We can use any kind of non-perishables particularly cereal,
baby food, canned meats and fish, soups, peanut butter, jelly,
canned fruits and vegetables, rice, stuffing, pasta, canned
stew, chili and spaghetti sauce. We can also use supermarket
gift cards from UNION supermarkets such as A and P, Pathmark,
Shop Rite, and Stop and Shop. If you prefer to make a monetary
donation, make a check out to the WPCLB and we will purchase
food or grocery cards with the
money.
Items
should be brought to the WPCLB office at 33 Oakland
Ave., Harrison or to the November
10th Delegate Meeting which will be held at NYSUT,
520 White Plains Road, 4th Floor, Tarrytown, New York
10591.
