As announced at the 2018 NALC Convention in Detroit, the union has established the NALC Disaster Relief Foundation to alleviate the suffering of members affected by natural disasters, including earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires.
The foundation was created to fill a need identified by many branches in the face of the disasters last year, including the wildfires that ravaged northern and southern California, as well as the hurricanes that swept through South Texas, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Florida Keys.
“Branches wanted to know where they could send desperately needed supplies and money, but there wasn’t a central location,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said. “That’s why we created this foundation, to reflect the will of the members and make it easy for them to help others in need quickly and efficiently.”
The foundation has been set up to function in two ways: by providing hands-on relief and by receiving donations as a means to offer financial grants.

In the spirit of the Holidays and Giving to others, The Sunshine City Carriers Charities hosted a "Painting with a Purpose" Fundraiser at Painting with a Twist St. Pete on Sunday November 3rd.
Cristy Telson, Development Specialist at Muscular Dystrophy joined the event, even showing a heart-warming short MDA film and bringing goodie bags for all participants! It was a fun, festive afternoon that raised $300 for MDA. Thanks to all who participated!
