CWA Local 1040 Staff, some pictured above, are seen with food and other items which they donated to the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank in Ewing, NJ, which is responding to needs of victims of Hurricane Sandy and local families. The Local Staff donated over 500 pounds of food, over 1,000 diapers and more than 2,000 baby wipes through a $1,000.00 donation by the staff. (Photo courtesy of Local 1040 Viewpoint)

CWA's Disaster Relief Fund is helping to assist members experiencing a financial hardship in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The Fund may provide the member with a subsidy based on their essential losses associated with their primary home, and applications can be requested through your CWA Staff Representative.

CWA is also setting up another fund that would assist our sisters and brothers who have suffered losses or hardships in ways other than to their primary home. Donations can be made out and mailed to:
