Donate to the North Carolina Workers Relief Fund
Funds collected by the North Carolina AFL-CIO will be used to assist union members and their communities affected by the hurricane.
While we cannot make anyone whole, donating to the North Carolina Workers Relief Fund sends a message of solidarity and the knowledge that working people affected by this disaster are supported by Brothers and Sisters across the nation.
If you would like to send a check, make checks payable to NC State AFL-CIO with “NC Workers Relief Fund” on the memo line and send to:
Attn: NC Workers Relief Fund
