The 2020 OAC United Way campaign has been completed and I am pleased to announce that under very challenging times OAC displayed their generosity by raising a Grand Total thus far of $359,518.00

A huge Thankyou goes out to the membership of local 707 for recognizing the need in their communities; this year more than any other in the history of our local.

This amazing team went on the floor each and everyday despite COVID-19 challenges and spoke to the membership .

Not an easy task though barriers at the Picnic tables and wearing both masks and shields.

Once again Thankyou , Stay Safe and Happy Holidays
