Service & Solidarity Spotlight: Pittsburgh Labor Collects Busloads of Gifts for Families
Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
On Dec. 5, the Allegheny-Fayette Central Labor Council held its annual “Stuff the Bus” toy drive for families in need. Hundreds of new toys were loaded by volunteers onto double buses driven by Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 85 members and delivered to distribution centers around the Pittsburgh area. This charitable event has grown over the years, providing thousands of local families with gifts to put under the tree. Santa Claus himself even made an appearance this year and posed with labor council volunteers in front of a standing-room-only bus.
