The Labour of Love campaign honours UFCW Canada members' compassion and generosity in the fight against blood cancers.

Since 1985, UFCW Canada members have raised more than $54 million for the LLSC.

Our members' support has saved lives and helped patients with leukemia and lymphoma live longer.

In the last 20 years, the LLSC reports the five-year survival rates have increased by 19 per cent for leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Recently, UFCW 1006A stewards raised more than $6,500 at our annual conference.
