Locals Lend a Hand

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The Washington Teachers’ Union collected food and toys last December for the
Central Union Mission, which will distribute them to children and families in
need. “I am not surprised by the generous gifts donated by our members” said
President Nathan Saunders. “Our teachers always go beyond the boundaries of
the classroom and school in order to help.” Martha’s Kitchen – a local
nonprofit dedicated to “providing educational programs, food, clothing and
enrichment opportunities” in the District – also received donations from the
labor community though a holiday drive sponsored by the Guild (AFSCME 2910), the
Library of Congress Employees Union (AFSCME 2477), and the Congressional
Research Employees Association/IFPTE Local 75.
