The WNY Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO in partnership with 1199SEIU and the United Way are appealing to all unions and friends of labor in Western New York to make contributions to FeedMore WNY. FeedMore WNY is the non-profit formed by the merger of the Food Bank of WNY and Meals on Wheels of WNY. We are beginning a 3- month campaign to feed our hungry members, neighbors, and families. 

We know many union members and workers in our community who  are out of work and struggling to make ends meet during this very difficult time. The economic predictions for early 2021 will add to that stress. To get through this horrible period of hunger and despair in our community we ask you to join us in the WNY Labor Cares! Campaign and make a local union contribution, personal contribution, and share the campaign with your colleagues, friends, and family. 

CLICK on DONATE NOW to give a contribution to this worthy cause. Online donations can be made by using a credit card or electronic check. If you prefer to mail a check please do so at c/o WNY Labor Cares- 270 Essjay Road, Williamsville, NY 14221. Please make checks payable to FeedMore WNY and make note you are an 1199SEIU member. 

If you or anyone you know is experiencing layoffs, furloughs or cuts and is need of support, please contact  Chrissy Cassata (Chrissy.cassata@uwbec.org), the United Way Labor Liaison, to arrange support for displaced workers.
