United Steelworkers Local 6500 have made a multi-year commitment to support the Sudbury Food Bank.

The Steelworkers will be contributing $65,000 over three years to the Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive.

Local 6500 president Rick Bertrand says it’s important to help those in the community that need it.

Food bank executive Director Dan Xilon says the money will towards supporting the community milk program.

Edgar Burton’s widow Sharon says it shows that her husband and the food drive have had a big effect on the community.
