DC CBTU Helps CSA Feed the Hungry

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Sometimes a meal is the best gift of all. Members of the DC chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU) this holiday season raised cash and provided $1,120 worth of gift cards from the unionized Giant Food and Shoppers Food and Pharmacy.  The cards have been distributed through the Community Services Agency’s (CSA) Holiday Basket project to area working families in need.  “We so appreciate the generosity of local CBTU members,” said CSA’s Kathleen McKirchy (left), accepting the gift cards from CBTU-DC Chapter President Gwend Johnson yesterday. “We have been able to make many families happy this holiday season because of this effort on CBTU’s part.” - photo by Chris Garlock
