ESCANABA, Mich. (WZMQ) – Last week, a Delta County union held its annual Strike for Hunger, collecting a large amount of food, hygiene products, and monetary donations for local pantries.
For three days, members of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 21 and the Women of Steel picketed outside Elmer’s County Market in Escanaba and Pat’s Foods in Gladstone. Thanks to shoppers’ generosity, they brought in 902 pounds of food and $13,534. Billerud contributed an extra $5,000, bringing the total to $15,534.
The food and money will go to the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul.
