Helping Hands – Assistance for Oregon and SW Washington Union Families

Since 1974, Labor’s Community Service Agency, Inc., (LCSA) a partnership program of Labor & United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, has reached out to support working families and their communities through a mix of health and human services, community events, advocacy, education, referral, grant programs, and collaborative efforts.

Helping Hands is a program for working families unable to make ends meet due to temporary loss of income or hardship. Hundreds of qualified families receive help in paying rent or utilities during a layoff or company closure, medical emergency or other short-term hardship.

If you or another union member needs assistance, please call the IBEW Local 89 hall at 360-755-6900. A referral from the local union is required to apply.

If you are interested in volunteering or contributing to the LCSA, please go to their website at lcsaportland.org.
