Members of the Graphic Communications Conference and the Teamsters who live and work in areas hit hard by hurricanes Katrina and Rita badly need the assistance of GCC locals and members.

Many people have lost everything in this disaster, including their residences and workplaces.

Donations will be disbursed through the Teamsters' disaster fund, which is a 501(c)3 IRS charitable fund. Donations are tax-deductible.

GCC locals, members and retirees can send checks payable to the "Teamsters Disaster Relief Fund" to the GCC/IBT Secretary-Treasurer, 1900 L Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036.
