Foster Care Suitcase Drive

,

The CWA District 4 and CWA Local 4502 Human Rights Committees are excited to announce a Foster Care Suitcase Drive that is running now until Oct. 3! Many of the children in foster care are sent have to carry their items in trash bags when they move homes and we would like to change that for as many kids as we can. We are asking for new or gently worn suitcases, bags, blankets, books and toys to donate to these kids in our community.

Our next member meeting on Sept. 10 will be the perfect time to bring in your items, or items can be dropped off at the Union Hall at any time during the drive. Members who bring in an item to the member meeting on Sept. 10 will be entered into a drawing for a special gift card.
