Labor's Community Agency recently started a small food
pantry at our location. Due to the severe changes in the economy and
continuing job loss, there has been an unexpected usage of the program. We
would appreciate donations of non-perishable food items, diapers, formula,
etc., so that we are able to continue to help our union members, their
families, and the community during their time of crisis or need. Please bring
your donations to the above address or if you need items to be picked up, you
may call us at 303-744-6169. Travel Plus Program
How far would you go to support a cause you believe in?
Our full service travel web site can take you further than you ever dreamed
possible, while helping to raise new funds for Labor's Community Agency. Vehicle Donation Program
Labor's
Community Agency (LCA) has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Colorado to accept your used vehicle as a donation if you live in the Denver
metro area, Colorado Springs, or Pueblo. You can deduct the fair market
value if you itemize on your tax form. When you donate a vehicle
through LCA, the Agency receives a percentage of the gross sale of the
vehicle. The percentage received will help LCA continue the programs
and services for our families in crisis and need. In addition, you will
be helping Big Brothers Big Sisters with mentoring programs for children in
need of a consistent, caring friend. |
