Community Services Committee plans holiday help for needy

          We will be distributing food from SHARE and meat certificates to the needy for Thanksgiving this year. For Christmas we will offer food from SHARE, meat certificates and toys and clothing donated by our membership and Company personnel during the annual Holiday Drive.

          If you are in need, please call the Union Office at 414-463-7425 to be interviewed. You may call between October 16th through October 27th until 4:30 p.m. for the Thanksgiving distribution. The Community Services Committee will call you and interview your over the phone on October 30th between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to determine how many food baskets we will need. Please be home. Thanksgiving food basket pick up will be at the Bowlero on November 20th from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

          Those in need can call between November 8th and November 22nd before 4:30 p.m. for Christmas food, toys and clothing. Call 414-463-7425 to be interviewed by phone on November 27th between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The Christmas distribution will also be at the Bowlero on December 18th from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
