Living up to the motto on the side of the Local 776 tractor trailer “People helping People”, several Business Agents and Union Stewards from TForce Freight (Formerly UPS Freight) helped pack food boxes at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank on May 22^nd and June 18^th. The Agents and Stewards packed a combined 900 boxes of food to be distributed throughout Central PA. Each box was sent down an assembly line and filled with needy items including cereal, vegetables, juice, and other needed items.

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is a non-profit organization committed to ending hunger in 27 counties across central Pennsylvania. Central Pennsylvania Food Bank distributes food through 1,000 local agencies and programs and serves more than 200,000 people in need each month.

After a one year hiatus due to the pandemic Local 776 again held their membership family picnic on Sunday June 13^th. Knoebels amusement park was the place for a day of food, fun, fellowship and good times with family, friends, and co-workers. What a way to kick off the unofficial start of summer! Schools out, the weather cooperated; just a slight breeze to keep it comfortable, and Knoebels! Over 4,000 members, spouses, kids, grandkids, and retirees had registered for the picnic, making it one of Local 776’s largest member events. Inside the park, judging by the number of Teamster hats, T-shirts, and sweatshirts seen there was a steady stream of Teamster Members milling about the park enjoying themselves.

As is the custom at Local 776 events, tickets were sold throughout the day for a 50-50 drawing to benefit the Local Union’s scholarship fund. Austin O’Brien, who works at YRC, was the lucky winner and was awarded 50% of the money collected.

Commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson “Words can’t describe the feeling of seeing my Brothers and Sisters, along with their families and friends, together as one united group enjoying each other, the day and the park. I’m proud of this turnout; it’s you, the members, supporting your Local Union, who fuel that sense of pride. I’d like to thank EVERYONE from Local 776 who put so much time and effort into making the picnic a success. Without your support this event could not happen”.
