CSEA Local 830 is proud to announce that they have adopted 32 member families this holiday season. Thanks to the contributions of various CSEA units, the Local has been able to donate clothes, toys, and gift cards to these families to make their holiday season a little bit easier. This is up from 23 families that were donated a year ago, and 22 the year before that.

 

 “Despite all that our members have been through this past year, I am so pleased to see that we were actually able to adopt more families than in the past. It truly shows the strong character of our membership,” CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta said. 

 

Each family was able to bring home bags full of gifts for their children.

 

This was the 4th straight year that CSEA has run this program. This year it was behind the guidance of CSEA Womens Committee Chair Debra Buonagura with the help of staff members Felicia Staub, Kelly Sheppard and Guadalupe Johnson. However, the entire CSEA Executive Board held a role in gathering the toys and making the program once again successful.
