Local Union 879 President John McCann presents a $10,000 cheque to The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

This year, Business Agent Darren Hogan (Donation Coordinator) was responsible to pick who the recipient of our Christmas donation fund would be.

Food Bank Development Coordinator Allie Lem said, “this donation will go a long way in helping those in need throughout our jurisdiction. Times are getting tougher for alot of families and its especially important to help during the Christmas season. Thanks to Teamsters, many families will not have an empty table for Christmas dinner and beyond.”
