December 7, 2024 (San Diego) -- Today, more than 350 San Diego County families received a holiday meal and toys at the United Labor Center in San Diego,  thanks to the generosity of local union workers. Another 150 families in Imperial County will also be helped through the food and toy drive.

Teachers, firefighters, nurses, hotel workers, truck drivers, healthcare providers, janitors, government employees, construction workers, community partners, elected officials, and more are volunteering in solidarity to ensure no family goes without this holiday season.

For over three decades, the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council has organized this annual Food & Toy Drive to support union families facing financial hardships, including many who are on the frontlines of ongoing fights for better wages and working conditions.
