In turn, their union called upon Labor’s Community Service Agency (LCSA) to help. And LCSA stepped up big time. In a year unlike any other in more than a generation, LCSA pumped more than $325,000 of assistance into those com- munities, representing 1,800 families and 7,000 adults and children served. Most notably, LCSA sent out close to $120,000 in housing stability aid and $85,000 in emergency food resources. The overall emergency response rep- resents a 70% increase in aid compared to 2019, directly representing the tremen- dous amount of need that working fami- lies faced in 2020. “Whether it was housing stability as- sistance, emergency food cards, child- care cost coverage, or increased inter- net bills for distance learning, LCSA staff dedicated their whole selves to standing with working families throughout the disruptions of 2020,” said Executive Director Eryn Byram. LCSA placed a focus on the hardest impacted unions, dedicating reserved funds for their membership and VIP slots at the Presents from Part- ners holiday event. In addition, early in the pandemic LCSA moved quickly to provide food resources to unions with membership heavy in language barriers — causing increased difficulty in filing for their unemployment benefits. Last year’s Presents from Partners hol- iday program provided toys and food to over 1,000 children, who received a holiday sack full of toys and union- retiree handcrafted stockings. Their families were gifted a Spin catered holiday meal, IBEW Credit Union sponsored par- ent gifts, and an extra $100 in Fred Meyer gift cards for other needs donated by United Food and Com- mercial Workers (UFCW) Local 555 and the entire labor move- ment. This included, for the first time, union families in Southern Oregon, where the Southern Oregon Central La- bor Chapter distributed gifts to those who had been impacted by wildfires and COVID. “To the hundreds of unions, individu- als, and ally organizations that gave in any way to LCSA in 2020, thank you,” Byram said. “Your solidarity is the only reason we served thousands in our com- munity through each devastation that hit working families. There is no way to list each of you, although I wish I could. If you donated, volunteered, or made sure a struggling union member made their way to us for a helping hand, you are a part of Labor's Community Service Agency and the important work that we do.” LCSA is a non-profit funded in part by United Way of the Columbia-Willamette. It operates under the auspices of the Northwest Oregon Labor Council and a 16-person board of directors.
