Living Grace Homes – Local 1977, Las Vegas
Living Grace Homes provides a vital service in Las Vegas. The organization offers shelter, food, and additional resources for young mothers between the ages of 14 and 24 who are either experiencing or facing the risk of homelessness. With the growing need for Living Grace’s community support, the organization is expanding their facilities. In hope of nearly doubling their capacity, they need help to meet their ambitious goal of serving up to 150 families. That’s why Local Union 1977 Carpenters stepped up to lend a hand. On Saturday, they volunteered to assist with cleaning up the site and offered demolition assistance in preparation for their expansion. Watch the news clip here.
Graduations Across the Council
On Saturday, Locals 96, 196, 503 & 541 in Oregon, and Local 562 in California held gradation ceremonies for their newest Journeymen. They gathered with friends and family at their respective local union halls to celebrate. These members dedicated four years to learning their crafts during their tenure in the Apprenticeship program, and now they are well-prepared to succeed in their union careers. We are so proud of our 2025 graduating class.
