Gifts and Goodie Bags; it must be Christmas!

On Saturday December 19, 2020, Local 776 hosted our annual Christmas for Kids Community Services Christmas Party: with a little different look. Due to Covid-19 concerns the party was held as a drive-thru for families to stop by, receive gifts and goodie bags from Santa, and share in the season. Santa and his “Elves” were busy making sure the right gifts got in the right vehicles and with the kids’ smiling faces and the snow on the ground, it certainly looked like Christmas! “We are fortunate to have so much, this year more so than other years it’s important to help those in need share in the season. For some of these kids this is their Christmas, and we try hard to help as many as possible,” commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson. “I would like to thank the Christmas for Kids Community Services Christmas Party Committee Members and also the Teamster Horsemen for all their hard work in putting this event together. Additionally I would like to thank the IBT for donating the children’s book, “Oats and Roses”, which were included in the goodie bags, and our represented employers; Bimbo Bakeries and Canteen Vending Services, for their donations to help make the party a success.”
