Get Involved with the LCSA Annual Toy Drive
Local 48 is participating again in the LCSA Toy Drive. Last year, we joined over two dozen unions and union training centers to raise toys for over 600 children in 300 union families struggling in our community. We are anticipating serving even more families in need this year!
How the Toy Drive Works
Stewards, EWMC Members, RENEW Members and Sisters in Solidarity selected by their Chair and the Hall will be authorized to collect funds and presents for this on jobsites.
Apprentices currently in school are also participating in this by collecting toys on jobsites.
Cash Donations and Toys can be dropped off at the Training Center and the Union Hall during the day Monday through Friday.
Cash Donations and Toys can be made at Union Meetings and Unit Meetings
