CWA LOCAL 6132

We were notified late yesterday, by the Texas AFL-CIO, that the Central Texas Food Bank is having a difficult time keeping food on their shelves, due to the additional Federal Employees who have now been out of work for over a month.

Please, speak to your coworkers and coordinate to bring in food for pickup at your work location.

We plan to pick up the donations on Friday, January 25th, 2019. We know that this is not very much time, so it is important to communicate quickly and effectively to see if we can accumulate as much as we can.

The Central Texas Food Bank is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing healthy meals and programs to Bastrop, Bell, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Coryell, Falls, Fayette, Freestone, Gillespie, Hays, Lampasas, Lee, Limestone, Llano, McLennan, Milam, Mills, San Saba, Travis and Williamson counties.

Our good friend from NettWorth Financial, David B. Davis, has extended this offer to our members:

The NettWorth Financial Group Donna Castleberry Scholarship awards college scholarships to children of union members across the country.  Since 2001, more than $220,000 has been given to fund the education of dozens of promising young men and women. Chances are you know of a family that has benefited in your hometown.  The scholarship program is a fitting tribute to an individual who gave so much to so many.

Scholarship applications can be requested by calling our scholarship hotline at 888-224-5021 or by visiting our website www.nettworth.net.
