    The Greater Richmond Transit Company and the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 1220, join together every Holiday season to donate food boxes to members of the community in need. This year, the combined donations from GRTC and Union employees enabled 44 food boxes to be prepared today.

    GRTC Interim Chief Executive Officer Charlie Mitchell said, “We are honored to once again be able to supply Holiday meals for our neighbors in need. GRTC is thankful to share from our family with the communities we serve.”

    Each food box contained all the ingredients for a full Holiday feast, including a turkey, sides, condiments and dessert. All the food was purchased with donations from GRTC and Union employees.

    ATU Local 1220 Vice President Maurice Carter, said, “The Union is proud to partner with GRTC on this annual tradition, and we appreciate those willing and able to give to this important community effort.”

    Holiday food boxes were loaded onto a GRTC bus and distributed to individuals identified by Social Services this afternoon.
