News You Can Use: Helping out in Ellicott City

Spurred by a call from DC Nurses’ Association Executive Director Ed Smith to see how their local could help working families impacted by the Ellicott City floods, CSA has identified some links if you or your local would like to help:
United Way Central Maryland is collecting funds that will only be used for human services and humanitarian needs in Ellicott City (not for things like re-building).
Community Action Council of Howard County is taking donations of food and new clothing.
Howard County is promoting other local agencies on their Facebook page; click on the list of agencies.
If any unions with members in Ellicott City have specific needs please call Kathleen McKirchy at the Community Services Agency, 202 974-8221 or [email protected]. Report to us if you or your local is able to help in any way. "Labor Cares- Labor Shares!"
