Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On Saturday April 27, 2019, the John J. Driscoll United Labor Agency will once again be part of Foodshare’s Walk Against Hunger. Our partnership with Foodshare provides needed food to workers in time of crisis. The partnership also allows us to provide needed food to workers on strike. Every dollar received at Foodshare will return $10 worth of food to the community.
Last year alone United Labor Agency distributed roughly 230,000 pounds of food to over 400 households and we couldn’t have done that without your support and generous donations. Times are changing and working families need more and more help to just get by. We are there to help them when they need it.
We understand that life gets busy, but together we are slowly making a difference and continue to request your assistance on the issue of ending hunger in Connecticut one household at a time. Our goal is to raise $3,000 this year, but would love it if we could surpass that amount.
As in the past years, we will accept financial donations up until the walk and welcome anyone who wishes to join us in walking. All the information you need to know is listed below and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Hartford Office at 860-727-9301.
Please let us know if we can be of any assistance in your efforts to coordinate things – we have posters, brochures and other materials available and can come speak to groups.
Important Information
Financial donations will be accepted by mail until Wednesday April 24th or in person at the Walk on Saturday, April 27th.
Checks must be made payable to: Foodshare
