Local 478 is helping out kids and families in need this winter season by making sure they keep warm, have some basic school supplies, have a new toy to play with on Christmas, and don't go hungry this holiday season. 

The 478 Activism and Pride Committees are coming together to facilitate a supply drive for the unhoused. We are collecting funds to purchase items that will help people’s day-to-day lives such as tents, packaged snacks, premade sandwiches, beverages, canned goods with openers, hygiene supplies, and warm clothing. We are partnering with Kula Blue Bus who distributes these supplies on Sundays. 
 

If you’d like to join for our 478 Day of Service with Kula, we will be going out to volunteer with them on Sunday, November 6th as a group. Sign up here to volunteer: https://forms.gle/SgdTSaQvCZRWA53X7

If you’d also like to volunteer with Kula, donate directly to their org, or donate homemade meals, visit https://santoshavillage.org/kula to register.

Local 478 is teaming up with New Orleans Second Harvest food bank and the New Orleans Family Justice Center this Holiday season. This Thanksgiving food drive will help struggling families who
 are identified by 2nd Harvest and NOFJC as in need or homeless in shelters. Donate what you can and let us do the shopping for you!
