Union Members, Community Comes Together to Assist Struggling Columbus Families for the Holidays

The holiday spirit was in full force last month at St. Stephen's Community House where hundreds of union volunteers rolled up their sleeves to give back to thousands of Columbus families struggling to make ends meet over the holidays. The event was part of the 2010 Christmas Care/One New Toy Campaign where union volunteers distributed thousands of toys and tens of thousands of pounds of food on Saturday to Columbus working families who found themselves in financial hardship.

Assistance for this year's event was also provided by the United Way of Central Ohio, United Industrial Workers, Teamsters, International Association of Fire Fighters, Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers, United Food and Commercial Workers, SEIU District 1199, and Transit Workers Union.
