Funding for the program comes primarily from donations provided by local unions — and more support is needed.
Local unions and individual union members can help by participating in a silent auction at the United Labor Centre, planned November 10-12.
All the proceeds from this year’s silent auction will go to Working Partnerships’ emergency food program.
Donated items for the silent auction will be accepted until October 30. Ideas for items to donate include: gift certificates, concert tickets, sports tickets, crafts, themed baskets, store gift cards, baked goods, lessons, weekend getaways.
To make a silent auction donation, drop off items at the offices of Working Partnerships (Room 524) or the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation (Room 542) at the United Labor Centre, 312 Central Ave.
Silent auction items will be available for viewing and bidding from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. November 10-12 on the second floor of the United Labor Centre, with hours extended to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 11 during the night of the delegate meeting for the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation.
For more information or to make a donation, contact Betsy Hunter at Working Partnerships at 612-379-8130 ext. 112 or e-mail Betsy.
