Port
Employees Collect Holiday Donations Two Port of Wilmington employees recently collected over $400 from terminal workers to donate to poor and needy families in Delaware’s three counties for the holiday. |

The
Diamond State Port Corporation, which owns and operates the Port,
matched these donations and will contribute Holiday food baskets for
families in need, throughout Delaware.
Initiators of this outreach effort, Supervisor Richard Smith and Robert Dodson of ILA Local 1694-1, are both long-time Port of Wilmington employees, who over the years have taken it upon themselves to organize fund-raising at the Port for various charitable causes. Founded
in 1923, the Port
of Wilmington is an important asset for the local and
regional economy, generating over 4,900 jobs and contributing over $16
million in annual tax revenues to State and local government. The
Port is owned and operated by the Diamond State Port Corporation, a
corporation of the State of Delaware. For further information,
