The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union and its affiliated local unions come together to help workers through the UFCW Charity Foundation. Through the work and generosity of UFCW local unions—which represent food, retail, and health care workers across the U.S. and Canada—UFCW Charity Foundation provides relief and assistance to union members and their communities through a variety of grants and programs. Together, we’re building a better life for all hardworking people.
UFCW is made up of 1.3 million hardworking men and women, and we are proud to be the largest private-sector union in the U.S. UFCW members work in grocery and retail stores, pharmacies, health care, and manufacturing facilities, as well as in food processing and meat packing. From the rural heartland to urban centers, UFCW members are on the front lines working hard to feed, serve, and strengthen their neighborhoods and communities.
