Volunteer to help with the IA NYC Food Drive!
One of the great things about being a union member is that we look out for one another. We know we've all been feeling the effects of the industry strikes — but while the AMPTP tries to starve workers out, the Young Workers and Membership Outreach Committees of various IATSE Locals in NYC have organized a food drive for our fellow IATSE members.

We are asking volunteers for a commitment of at least two hours on one of the following days:
Friday, October 13th, 11am-3pm:
(PREPARATION DAY – receive the food delivery, prep the space, pack bags)

Sunday October 15th, 9am-5pm:
(DAY OF FOOD DRIVE – finish any packing, distribute bags, run bags out to cars, clean up)
LOCATION:
American Federation of Musicians Local 802
322 W 48th St #1308
New York, NY 10036
