Sounds of the Season total reaches 12 tonnes of food thanks to Unifor 444

Workers at the Windsor Assembly Plant and Caesars Windsor have done their part to pitch in for the less fortunate during CBC Windsor's Sounds of the Season.

• 11 tonnes of food, almost $18K donated during Sounds of the Season - and there's still time to give

• CBC Windsor Sounds of the Season

Unifor Local 444 workers delivered 17 bins of food collected during just two shifts to the Unemployed Help Centre.

Those donation helped the campaign hit about 12 tonnes of food on top of the almost $18,000 raised so far.

"This is wonderful. I mean, could you imagine if Windsor assembly plant wasn't in this community?" asked David Cassidy from the union's executive. "Every time we reach out to our members, they're always giving, always helping out in the community."

The union will also be handing out turkeys and Christmas baskets on Wednesday to 100 needy families.

• Help people. Win prizes. Make cool things. Introducing CBC Windsor's activity calendar!

There's still time to donate. We'll be accepting food and monetary gifts at CBC Place on Riverside Drive W. for the Windsor Essex Food Bank Association until Dec. 31.
