Join our effort to help our communities this holiday season!
‘TIS THE SEASON TO BE GIVING!
Southern Region President Anthony Adamo has issued a challenge to our locals and units: Choose a holiday outreach project to help our neighbors in need.
Here are some options for outreach:
- Run a toy drive at your work site
- Assemble a Thanksgiving or Christmas food basket for a family in need
- Collect gifts for nursing home residents, who are currently isolated from family due to COVID-related visiting restrictions
- Organize a non-perishable food drive for a local food pantry.
Keep us posted on what project you choose! We encourage you to email photos and an update to jessica.ladlee@cseainc.org so we can document outreach across the region in a video. Our local non-profits are struggling greatly this year due to the pandemic, so this is a good opportunity to demonstrate how CSEA members always support our communities!
PAC online trainings offered to locals, units
Looking to help your members connect the dots as to why unrestricted federal aid is so important for our members?
CSEA Political Action Coordinator Chris Ludlow is offering a webinar that gives our members the background they need in order to understand what makes federal aid — and political action, in general — such a vital part of weathering this economic crisis and preserving the services our members provide.
Local and unit leaders interested in setting up a webinar may contact Chris Ludlow at our Southern Region Office at 845.831.1000.
