The Holiday Toy Drive is an annual tradition at IBEW Local 103 to give back to the communities where their members live and work. This is the 10th consecutive year Local 103 IBEW has held the drive.
“It’s really all about being of service and helping one another this time of year, spreading joy and seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids and families,” said Local 103 IBEW business manager and financial secretary, Lou Antonellis. “This annual toy drive wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our union members, local businesses, and organizations, and we’re extremely grateful to them all.”
“These are the neighborhoods in which our members live and work. We are truly blessed, and we believe in giving back to our communities,” said Renee Dozier, business agent, Local 103 IBEW.
