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:

The deadline to receive donations is Friday, February 19, 2010. 

 

Donations for Haitian Relief are tax-deductible, and legislation has recently been passed allowing these donations to be claimed on your 2009 taxes.
