San Diego Carpenters Giving Back
Carpenters Local 619 joined the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA this weekend for a toy distribution event filled with activities for the family. Kids had the opportunity to get hands on experience with assembling and hammering with assistance from our Union Carpenters to build wooden toolboxes. This is an event that our members look forward to annually, as it is a wonderful opportunity to give back to their communities.
Western Washington Clothing and PPE drive
Honoring the holiday season, the Western Washington African American Task Force Committee and Local 206 Representative Matt Kurvink organized a clothing drive and tool library to help new apprentices. WA State Representative Kristine Reeves connected AATF with the South King Tool Library in the Seattle metro area when Kurvink inquired about any community partners who would benefit from donated tools and workwear. Reeves suggested SKTL, and together AATF and the tool library organized a “Supply Swap” when donations gathered by AATF were ready for drop off.
