Description

September 6, 2021, The Big Bend Labor Chapter, AFL-CIO, and LCTA will be accepting donations for veterans who are experiencing homelessness. The BBLC is partnering with Support Services for Veterans and Families and the Big Bend Homeless Coalition to try to give back to our community. This is our second year of supporting this worthy cause. We are asking for a few things: A monetary donation. If you would like to donate, please make the checks out to The Big Bend Labor Chapter with “Labor Day of Action” in the “for” line. Checks can be sent to 135 S Monroe St Tallahassee FL, 32301. Reach out to those you know for donations of goods: Socks and undergarments, personal hygiene items, non-perishable food, pet food, rain gear, flashlights, gift cards, gallon sized zip lock bags, wipes (body or cleaning), re-useable water bottles, etc. For you to drop them off at the American Legion Hall on September 6th between 10:00 am-12:00 pm. Our hope is to help those that are less fortunate. The last year has seen an uptick in homelessness in the Big Bend area due to Covid-19. We have an opportunity to help those that need our help and lack the voice and support that we, as unionist, enjoy all year. I and the Big Bend Labor Chapter need your assistance. Last year we raised 4000 dollars in goods and money to help homeless veterans; this year we hope to double that amount. By providing these staples, we hope to help veterans experiencing homelessness and help improve their quality of life. We do not believe this is going to solve the problem, but it can help. We hope that we can have your support in this endeavor, any donation will help those that are less fortunate than us. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at [email protected] and I will be more than happy to give you any assistance possible. Thank you for your time and generosity, Sean Willett President, Big Bend Labor Council LCTA Parliamentarian PS. Please feel free to share this with anyone that you think would be willing to help. Everyone can make an impact.
