ILWU provides hundreds of families with Thanksgiving dinner baskets

For more than two decades, members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union have provided Thanksgiving groceries to hundreds of families — and they did so again this year.

ILWU members gathered on Tuesday, Nov. 26, to box the goods and pass them out, some delivering the dinner fixingd — including turkeys — to recipients’ cars outside the ILWU Memorial Hall in Wilmington. ILWU Locals 13, 63 and 94, along with the ILWU Southern California Pensioners and ILWU Federated Auxiliary No. 8, typically participate in the volunteer effort.
