VETERANS CLOTHING DRIVE

LOCAL 369’S VETERANS CLOTHING DRIVE

The UWUA Local 369 Veterans Committee hosted its annual clothing drive to provide winter clothes for local veterans in need throughout December. We proudly donated more than 20 boxes of clothing to Vietnam Veterans of America just in time for the holidays. Thank you to everyone who donated to support the brave men and women of our military.

Local 369 Business Agent Bob Senier led the clothing drive. Senier has spearheaded the drive for over five years. He succeeds Pat Young—Veterans Committee chairman and lifetime UWUA member who passed away last year.

"As a veteran, and by watching how good Pat was at leading the veterans efforts over the years, I was inspired to step up and take over when he retired," said Senier, head of the Veterans Committee and Marine Corps veteran. "He was just a great guy and he did hard work for the veterans."

We extend a special thank you to Ronnie Conway, who drove clothes from Nantucket to the mainland by ferry during his weekend, and Chris Brolin and Pat Rodden, who also donated their time to help organize and transport the clothing.

Local 369 prioritizes giving back to the community in whatever way we can. I’m thankful that I’ve been able to do my part to help those in need,” said Bob. “This year was definitely a success and we’re thankful for everyone

who contributed.” — Bob Senier, Local 369 Business Agent
