Amalgamated Transit Union Local 757 donated $600 to Labor’s Community Service Agency (LCSA) last month. The money came from a 50/50 drawing the union held at its annual picnic at Blue Lake Park.
Each year Local 757 selects a non-profit to donate to.
“Labor’s Community Service Agency is very deserving. We recommend our members to the agency all the time,” said ATU President Shirley Block.
Block and ATU Secretary-Treasurer Mary Longoria presented the cash to LCSA Executive Director Vickie Burns Sept. 10 at Local 757’s Schoppert Hall in Northeast Portland. Burns said the money will go to the agency’s Helping Hands temporary hardship assistance program.
