Each year UNIFOR Local 127 at MSSC organizes a toy drive in which all employees are encouraged to contribute new unwrapped toys for Chatham Goodfellows. Mark Woodrow, president of UNIFOR Local 127 at MSSC, said that employees have been very generous. This year was by far their most successful toy drive. Four large pallets full of news toys that total well in excess of $7,000.00 were collected. The toys were turned over to Chatham Goodfellows Friday afternoon.
