LETHBRIDGE, AB –/COMMUNITYWIRE/– CUPE Local 70 delivered $2400 worth of gift cards to organizations in need today, including the Lethbridge Food Bank, Interfaith Food Bank, Lethbridge Soup Kitchen, Salvation Army and Angel Tree Initiative.

“We work in this community, and our members care deeply about folks in the Lethbridge area, that’s why we chose to give back to the most vulnerable in our community this holiday season,” explained Andrew Chernevych, a spokesperson for CUPE Local 70, which represents municipal workers in the Lethbridge Area.

“We know that more and more people are struggling this year and that inflation for basic necessities like groceries have left families and community members making tough decisions,” added Chernevych.

“Our Local has a history of taking care of our members and our community and it was no surprise that our members voted to support these organizations. We love the Lethbridge area and want to give back whenever we can,” added Chernevych.

“We’re happy we could play a small part in helping these organizations support our community,” concluded Chernevych.
