The event, which was held at the Family Dollar in Lumberton, provided assistance to over 150 workers and their families. Members of UFCW Local 204, along with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina and corporate partners like Kroger and Kellogg\u2019s, also donated items to help Local 1208 members and their families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stephanie Franklin, a member of Local 1208 who has worked at Smithfield Foods in Tar Heel for more than 11 years and lives in Lumberton, was one of the recipients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe whole area was affected by Hurricane Matthew,\u201d Franklin said. \u201cI\u2019ve lived in North Carolina my whole life, and this was one of the worst storms I\u2019ve seen. My son is four years old, and we were stuck in our trailer for two days during the storm and we didn\u2019t have enough food or water. Our trailer is up high, but the bathroom ceiling caved in a little bit and the water was still up to my waist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe relief effort meant a lot and shows that Local 1208 is there for you.

We\u2019re committed to doing all that we can to help our members recover from this storm because no hard-working family should ever have to struggle alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UFCW Local 1208 worked with Smithfield Foods to ensure that everyone at the plant in Tar Heel received a full week\u2019s pay when Hurricane Matthew struck, regardless of actual time on the job.
