No family should go without food on the table. That goes double during the holidays.
The Labor of Love – Sponsor a Family fundraising drive will help get food to families in need throughout the Twin Cities’ east-metro region this holiday season. Contributions from unions and their members will be accepted through Nov. 13.
All donations are used to purchase gift cards from union grocery stores. Local agencies distribute to the gift cards to area families in December.
Participating agencies include Catholic Charities in St. Paul, Sponsor a Family MN and Jewish Community Center. The St. Paul Labor Studies and Resource Center’s Emergency Fund, which provides assistance to union members facing financial hardship, distributes 30 percent of proceeds from Labor of Love.
To contribute, mail a check payable to Labor Studies and Resource Center to LSRC; Labor of Love – Sponsor a Family; Attn: Laura; 353 West 7th St., Suite 201; Saint Paul, MN 55102.
Labor of Love – Sponsor a Family is co-sponsored by Greater Twin Cities United Way, the St. Paul Regional Labor Federation, the LSRC and the AFL-CIO Community Services program.
