Meet the winners of the Union Plus Holiday Giveback
We gave $1,000 to 100 extraordinary union members this December during the Union Plus Holiday Giveback!
We decided the best way to close out this crazy year
was to give back to those who always give to others.
The plan was simple, we'd give 100 truly extraordinary union members $1,000 bucks. We knew giving back to union members during the holidays was the right thing to do. What we didn't know was how much it would touch our hearts.
The gift you gave us
The Union Plus Holiday Giveback was about giving $100,000 to amazing union members who always put themselves last during the ultimate season to give.
Regular folks like you — from every union in every state — recorded videos and told stories about ordinary union members who have been extraordinary during this tumultuous year.
Extraordinary during impossible times
There were so many truly extraordinary nominations, it was nearly impossible to choose BUT we think you’ll agree, the winners are exceptional people, who rise to the occasion every day, but even more so during this terribly challenging year and time.
Our kind of people
Generous, kind, selfless, supportive. We are grateful to be in such company — both the nominees and the nominators.
It's a special kind of person who thinks to lift another up…we're basically trying every day to be as kind and generous as these union members. #LifeGoals2021
