ILWU Longshoremen donate generously to BC Children’s Hospital

From Surrey, BC newspaper The Link:

The generosity of the local longshore union hit a record high. ILWU 502, based in Surrey, raised $52,502 for the BC Children’s Hospital this year. The union serves the ports of Fraser Surrey Docks, Deltaport and Wes-shore coal Terminals. The fundraising that began just a few years ago has netted over $242,000 for the Hospital. In addition to the hospital, the Union is also busy making donations to other charities in the community such as the local food bank to which they have donated thousands of pounds in food and cash.

“Our membership really takes this initiative to heart and works very hard to make it a big success. It’s an honor for us to be involved with such a great cause that helps out the community in such a big way”, said a spokesperson.
