We collected a large amount of items from the local members, the community and our parent group from the Squad. Our USW Women’s committee has been volunteering at the Bridges Shelter (Cambridge Shelter) on the days they need help.
This Christmas, we wanted to get more awareness so I asked the parents of the Cambridge Youth Soccer U11 Boys Target Squad, that I coach to donate some items.

Thank you to all Steelworkers who contributed!
