Arizona Carpenters Volunteer to Help Local Veteran in Need
Over the weekend, members of Local 1912 offered their services to help a local veteran, Jerry, who needed maintenance on his roof. Unable to complete the work himself due to a health condition, a friend of Jerry and former Union contractor reached out to the Southwest Carpenters for help. Local 1912 Carpenters answered the call and were ready to get to work. Helping out former veterans, like Jerry, is just one of the small ways we have been able to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for us.
