Ken, Kellie and all the Teamsters,

We at Children’s Home Society could never adequately express our gratitude for all that you have accomplished to help so many needy and vulnerable children and families. We hope that each and every teamster knows how much they are appreciated and dearly loved by Children’s Home Society staff. I tried to estimate, going back to the first year, just how much you have given. It has to be close to $300,000 if not more. When you think about that, it helps us realize and say “what in the world would we have done without you”. The lives you have helped, the Christmas smiles you have made happen, speaks volumes as to who the Teamsters are, what fortitude and dedication you each have, never considering all the work that goes into it, giving of your time to shop, to deliver, and to support the giving financially. God Bless each and every one, you are our Champions for Children, you are Christmas Angels that we love dearly. I have attached some pictures for you to share. You will see nearly 100 boxes of food, bags and bags of toys, all labeled and ready to go. Our staff and volunteers worked Saturday and all day yesterday to get everything organized. The Teamsters would be proud!!!! of how organized it is, we even did a potato relay down the hallway J

Also some pictures of everything once it was unloaded!! There are many other pictures but these are some good ones to share.

“Alone we can do little, together we can do so much” Helen Keller

Big hugs and love Mary, Scott, and all CHS staff!

Donate to WV Children's Home Society
For many years, the members of this Local Union have contributed to and raised money for a local charity, West Virginia Children’s Home Society. CHS provides food and toys to families in need throughout West Virginia. Through generous donations, we were able to deliver 2 tractor trailers and several SUVs loaded with food, general household items as well as toys to a CHS location in Charleston. They then distributed the items to hundreds of families in WV. It was our biggest year yet. We estimated with donations and discounts, we delivered well over $50,000 in food and toys. You can be a part of this great even this year by offering a monetary donation. Our members plan to shop for food/toys in December and your help is greatly appreciated. We guarantee 100% of donations goes directly to WV families. If you would like to learn more about Children’s Home Society of West Virginia, please visit www.childhswv.org.
