TWU members and officers from all regions made this past holiday season a little better for hundreds of needy children and their families.  This page provides a small sampling of the good wishes and new toys collected, purchased and distributed to different locations thanks to the generosity of TWU people. 

Photos here show just some of the activities of Local 234 in Philadelphia and Local 100 in New York.

Local 234 volunteers and officers purchased nearly $2,500 worth of toys from a Toys R Us store in South Philadelphia. They were then loaded onto a truck and in the backs of cars for distribution at the People’s Emergency Center on North 39th St.  Photos, above right, show a group shot of volunteers at the Center, with Santa (Local 234 member ‘Saint’ Nicholas Lutz) and Local 234 President Willie Brown.

Also, volunteers unloading truck at center.

In New York, Local 100 members and officers from OA and TA Maintenance deliv•ered toys to cen•ters in the Bronx and Manhattan. Shown here (below right) are photos taken at a day care center on 100th St. and Lexington Ave. (across the street from a major TWU bus depot) and at Covenant House for homeless and abused mothers and their children.
