The Big Bend Labor Chapter held its third-annual Day of Action for Labor on Labor Day. The groups handed out supplies to homeless veterans during the day.<\/p>\n

Among those gathered at the Lake Ella American Legion to assemble the bags of supplies was local teacher and project leader Cheri Gewanter.<\/p>\n

“We can’t imagine doing anything else other than having a day of labor for labor. And today we’re going to benefit the Big Bend Homeless Coalition’s Supportive Services for Veterans and Families.”<\/p>\n

Council President Sean Willett said the purpose of the effort was simple.<\/p>\n

“Unions are here to help. They’re here to be there for the community. We’re a part of the community. All of us are members of this community and that’s what we want to do; we want to help our community be better.”<\/p>\n

Last year, the labor groups gathered more than $4,000 worth of donated supplies and cash to help in the effort. <\/p>\n
