The San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council is holding their annual Holiday Food and Toy Drive for union families in need.

  • Submit a name: If you or another educator you know needs support this holiday season, you can submit a name for a food and/or toy voucher here as soon as possible (we have limited numbers!) but by Sunday, December 1st at the latest. (Educators, we know you normally focus on your students and their needs, but these vouchers are for SDEA members and their families.)
  • Donate a toy: Drop off unwrapped toys at the SDEA office by Monday, December 2nd. Normal business hours are Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (Note: In observance of Thanksgiving, the office will be closed November 28 – 29, 2025.)
  • Volunteer: Sign up to help distribute food and gifts on December 7th!
