ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland and Labrador – The United Steelworkers union (USW) has raised $88,028.20 for the Community Food Sharing Association in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, at the conclusion of its triennial District 6 Conference held in the city.
Under the banner, “We’re Ready,” the conference brought more than 450 USW members and guests from Ontario, the Atlantic region and the United States.
“As Steelworkers, we know how important it is to give back to our communities,” said Myles Sullivan, USW District 6 Director.
“As union, we understand how hard it is for people to get by with the soaring cost of living and we want to do what we can to help. I’m so proud of our members who came forward with great generosity to support food banks in Newfoundland and Labrador. ‘We’re Ready’ to give back and support our communities!”
The Community Food Sharing Association supports 60 different food banks across the province, helping 15,000 families who rely on these services.
