Local 23’s North Shore Chapter is excited to announce that we will be hosting a food pantry drive for two amazing pantries in Northeast Ohio! We will be partnering with Holy Redeemer Church’s Cabrini House Pantry in Cleveland and St. Bede’s Helping Hands Pantry in Mentor to help support working families and neighbors in need.
Both pantries gratefully accept monetary donations, but they’re also in need of essential items, including:
- Hygiene products: Body wash, shampoo, wipes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, mouthwash, shaving cream, and razors.
- Cold-weather clothing: Coats, gloves, hats, thermal socks, long underwear, and blankets.
- Non-perishable food: Canned soup, vegetables, fruit, tuna (easy-open cans preferred), boxed mashed potatoes, boxed rice, peanut butter, jelly, pasta sauce, noodles, and ramen.
When union members come together, we strengthen not only our trade but also the communities we call home. If you’re able, please consider making a donation. Every contribution, whether it’s food, supplies, clothing, or a financial gift, helps make a real difference.
Beginning today, members can drop off donations at the union hall or give them to one of our field representatives. We will be accepting donations through November 13, at which time everything collected will be delivered to the pantries.
Thank you for showing what union solidarity looks like in action.
