ILWU 23rd Annual Toy Drive in Wilmington

On Dec. 21, ILWU Locals 13, 94, 63 and 26 launched the Port of Los Angeles union’s 23rd annual toy drive and gave away more than 3,000 presents. 

The give away went on from 11 am to 5 pm, families waited for up to 3 hours as the line wrapped around the block. Attendees practicing social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic wore face masks and maintained a distance of 6 feet from each other. Once an attendee reached the reception desk, they were escorted by a volunteer or Santa himself so each child could select for themselves a toy they wanted among hundreds of different types from which to choose.
