Every year, SEIU 1021 members volunteer their time in the holiday spirit of giving thanks and giving back to working families. This year was no different, as members passed out turkey dinners at 11 union halls across Northern California to SEIU 1021 members who needed or wanted them. 

All around Northern California at various SEIU 1021 offices, member leaders and staff joyfully and tirelessly served Thanksgiving dinners to members via a car caravan dropoff system.
