2010 Christmas Care / One New Toy Program (Long Version)

The St. Stephen's Community House and Central Ohio Labor Council collaboration began in 1982 through the inspirational leadership of former Columbus City Councilman John Maloney to provide children with at least one new toy and family holiday provisions. Since then, the Christmas Care/One New Toy program has served countless union families in the Greater Linden area.

Central Ohio Labor Council Executive Director Walter Workman says union members were glad to come together to help families during these difficult times:

Hunger is hard. What began in 1982 as an effort to sustain families has grown into an annual effort that involves more than 200 labor volunteers. We do what has to be done for families—union and nonunion—who are in need.
