As you know, Hurricane Sandy pounded the East Coast, killing dozens, leaving millions without power, and thousands without homes or transportation. Our Brothers and Sisters in the International Longshoremen’s Association working the Northeast ports were hit particularly hard. Not only are their homes and possesions under water, but the ports have been damaged as well.
The ILA has identified 8 “A Man” members who have lost everything to Hurricane Sandy. It’s time for us to come together as a family and support our Brothers and Sisters. To do this, we’ve set up a relief fund to help out those Longshoremen familes in need. Not only will 100% of the donations go directly to the families, but Portland Local 8 Federal Credit Union will also match 100% of donations up to $10,000.
The Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund will be running until 11/30, so spread the word. To donate, simply click on the PayPal link below and donate what you can. If you have any questions about the donating or the relief fund, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the credit union via the contact page.
