Every year, as part of our annual Presents From Partners program, we hold a unionwide toy drive competition to prepare to support union families experiencing hardship through the holiday season.

In 2023, ILWU Local 8 was crowned the toy drive champion and presented with a trophy to keep for the year. Operating Engineers 701 snagged second place and third was tied between LiUNA 737 and Ironworkers 29.

However, it is because of widespread support across the union community that we were able to serve 275 union families this year for over 40 local unions, apprenticeship, and pre-apprenticeship training programs. Thank you to all other participating unions:
