1. HELP A STUDENT START THE YEAR OFF RIGHT
OPERATION BACKPACK 2013
This year, ArcelorMittal Hamilton East, the United Steelworkers, the
Women Of Steel and MJI Marketing Solutions have teamed up to
fill 350 backpacks.
As of today Operation Backpack has committed funds from:
ArcelorMittal Hamilton East/Corporate $5,000
United Steelworkers, Local 5328 $ TBD
United Steelworkers Area Council $ 600
Women Of Steel $1,000
Total $6,600
MJI Marketing Solutions has generously provided all the supplies at cost
and this year that offsets the cost of the backpacks by $2500.
St. Matthew’s House is also a partner this year. They will be working with
schools and agencies to ensure the backpacks go to those children
who are in need.
The total funds required to fill the backpacks is $9,500 so as of today we
have a $2900 shortfall. It is a big challenge and here’s how you can
help.
