UFCW Local 304A, in partnership with the U.S. Heartland China Association (USHCA) / Wanxiang, recently donated over 25,000 masks to businesses and community members in Sioux Falls, S.D.

The masks were donated to the local by USHCA / Wanxiang and staff from UFCW Local 304A then distributed them to the Multi-Cultural Center of Sioux Falls; Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Department; Siouxland Library; Rosebud Reservation Cultural Center; Brave Heart Society; Ethnic Community Center; Lakota Friends Circle and Elder Center; South Dakotans Against Racism; and members of the South Sudanese community.

UFCW Local 304A also gave out over 10,000 masks to our members and plans to continue their donations to those in need.

“I appreciate the generosity of the USHCA that made it possible for UFCW Local 304A to distribute important PPE to much needed families,” said UFCW Local 304A President B. J. Motley.

UFCW members and locals across the country came together last month to help make the holidays a little brighter for hard-working families in their communities.

UFCW Local 227 in Louisville, Ky., filled 1,500 bags of food for local families in need. Members and staff from RWDSU / UFCW Local 338 volunteered for a day of service in Wantagh, N.Y., to benefit the John Theissen Children’s Foundation by sorting toys for children and dropping them off at hospitals and other locations. UFCW Local 951 gave away Visa gift cards ranging from $100 to $500 to members to show appreciation for their hard work during the holidays, and UFCW Local 655 hosted a holiday toy drive.

We know these are just some of the many examples of UFCW locals and members stepping up to help those in need.

Thank you to all of our many members and locals who generously gave back during the holidays. We are so grateful for all you do to support hard-working families and keep your communities strong.
