BUILDING COMMUNITY
Think creatively when giving
to Labor’s Community Services
Labor’s Community Service
Agency is offering several cre-
ative ways for local unions to
donate to the agency’s assis-
tance programs for union
members in need. They in-
clude:
• Add LCSA as a beneficiary to
your upcoming golf and poker
tournaments, skeet/clay shoots,
and other charitable events.
• Donate the proceeds from your
50/50 raffles.
• Suggest to the company that
grievance settlements not typ-
ically settled to a member, be
donated to LCSA programs.
• Designate LCSA as the benefi-
ciary of ‘Pass The Hat’ collec-
tions at your monthly meet-
ings.
• Join a growing list of dedicated
unions and become a monthly,
sustaining donor to Labor’s
Community Services.
• Sign up for the Fred Meyer
Community Rewards pro-
gram. (See below)
By including these creative
ways to donate to LCSA, your
union can provide much
needed rental assistance to a
union member unable to work
due to a medical crisis; assist
with a light bill for a member
struggling with the workers’
compensation system; and
provide moving expenses (se-
curity deposit) to a working
family served with a no-cause
eviction or an unsustainable
rent increase, said LCSA Ex-
ecutive Director Eryn Byram.
“Together, labor can stand
in solidarity with working
families as they face an un-
precedented housing crisis and
uncertain future,” she said.
Checks can be made
payable to Labor’s Commu-
nity Service Agency, 9955 SE
Washington St, Suite 211 Port-
land, OR 97216. You may also
donate at LCSAportland.org/
donate. Personal donations are
also welcome.
