*AFSCME DAY at PHILABUNDANCE*


     Canned lima beans, dry pasta and soup were among the many choices Cathy Scott, President of AFSCME District Council 47 had early Saturday morning. Scott and her team of 30 AFSCME members, family, friends and students from Drexel University worked hard in North Philadelphia to sort the latest Philabundance food donations from local retailers. “We have supported Philabundance for five or six years now, and with these difficult times, their services are more important then ever before to the citizens of Philadelphia”, said Scott. Philabundance is a non-profit organization that provides the homeless and unemployed with the food they need to survive, including emergency food packs that can feed a family of four for an entire weekend. “We are a union made up of residents of the city of Philadelphia; this is the least we can do to help support the city we all love", said Marguerite Morgan, District Council 47 executive board member. Philabundance is always looking for volunteers to help them assist those among us who are most in need, especially in this time of great need.
