MGEU members and staff served up more than 600 meals today for what has become one of the union’s longest-running United Way fundraisers.
President Michelle Gawronsky joined fellow MGEU members and Portage residents in a busy legion hall for the 17th installment of the MGEU Spaghetti Lunch.
The event raised almost $5,000 for the United Way. The MGEU covered the cost of food and provided volunteers to prepare meals with the generous help of the Agassiz Youth Centre. The Royal Canadian Legion donated the space for the lunch.
“This event has become a staple of the Portage area and the MGEU is happy to be able to work with the United Way to raise funds for the variety of causes they support. We’re happy to be able to contribute to the community, and this luncheon just gets more and more successful every year” said Gawronsky.
