The Labor Council Labor Day Project

The Blair Bedford Labor Council was not able to conduct the NALC food drive this year which normally nets us 27 tons of food that we distribute to five area food banks. This year we were unable to do that due to COVID, so we are doing a virtual food drive where as we are collecting checks for the five food banks through our Community Service Agency located at our hall. We would appreciate any and all donations to help the 13 percent unemployed in our area, checks should be made out to Blair County Community Service Agency and sent to our hall! tHE ADRESS FOR SENDING CHECKS IS 302 EAST WOPSONONOCK AVENUE, ALTOONA, PA. 16601
