For Starters Bections offer members chance to have say in branch’s future WPA kicks off annual Holiday Basket program PITTSBURGH - For many WPA members and branches, our Holiday Basket program is as much of a tradition as roasted turkey or carol singing. We again invite all branches to join us in spreading the fraternal spirit this holiday season. Participating in this charitable program is easy. Branches prepare baskets which include nonperishable food and other items donated by members. The Home Office donates $35 for each basket (up to three baskets per branch) to purchase additional items. Branch volunteers then deliver the baskets to families in need. Each year, more than 100 families experience a more joyous Thanksgiving or Christmas, thanks in large part to the and generosity shown by our branches through the Holiday Basket program. To learn how you can help spread the fraternal spirit this holiday season, call the WPA’s Home Offie toll-free at I -800-848- 7366.
