The Auxiliary of the APWU is committed to supporting the Union and its principles while striving locally to support its efforts to build a stronger membership through family activities and community oriented events.

The Omaha Area Local Auxiliary supports the following projects/events throughout each year:

Two Can Do Food Drive

From April to April of each year, the Omaha Area Auxiliary, in combination with the Omaha Area Local, conducts the Two Can Do food drive. The Two Can Do is a collection of monies throughout the year, which are provided to the host Local of the Annual Nebraska Postal Workers Union State Convention. The food pantry and/or designated charity for the less fortunate of the host city is the benefactor of this annual food drive.

Share Bears

At each month's general membership meeting, and through raffles/donations, the Auxiliary collects monies for the purchasing of stuffed bears. These stuffed bears are given to the Police and/or Fire Department to give to childern suffering through traumatic events.

For years, the Auxiliary has lended support to the Local in the planning and execution of the annual picnic.

Each year, the Auxiliary has joined with the Omaha Area Local to support the Jerry Lewis Telethon, assisting in processing pledges in the mail room and manning the phone banks when needed.

From assisting in the cost for room rental at the Western Heritage Museum to the purchasing of candy and toys for the gift bags, to food preparation, to the decoration and event planning, the Local Auxiliary has historically championed this event in support of the Local.
