Hundreds of Farley Nuclear Plant employees are being “Santa Claus” to many families in the Wiregrass who otherwise might not have had presents under their Christmas tree this year.
Since the mid-1980s, union members and employees of Farley have gotten together to help make Christmas a little brighter for Wiregrass families in need.
“We’ve got good jobs and a lot of people don’t,” Michael McCord, president of Union Hall IBEW 796 told WDHN News. “We’re just trying to give back to the community and we do it for the kids. We don’t do it for us. We started many years ago and we’re just trying to make it bigger and bigger every year.”
This year, Farley – which employs more than 900 people, with more than 360 of those being union members – has adopted 26 families and 58 children in need.
