Haitian Relief Effort
At the January 28, 2010 meeting of USW Local 3657, the members approved an E-Board recommendation that our local support the Holy Family Institute in Pittsburgh for our Haitian Relief effort. The Local will donate $500 and match the contributions of 3657 members up to $1,000.
The Allegheny Labor Council has asked its members to donate to the Holy Family Institute which currently houses 12 orphans rescued from Haiti. Our members decided that we didn’t have to send our donations elsewhere when we could help those in need in our own backyard. The orphans are in need of everything from food and clothing to volunteers who can help out with the children.
Visit the following web sites to get extensive details of how more than 50 Haitian orphans found their way to Pittsburgh and the Holy Family Institute:
