IAM Local 1231 – helping refugees, creating community
IAM Union members of Local 1231 Women’s Committee took a donation of personal care items to the Beautiful Foundation. This organization is supporting over 300 refugees at two different locations.
Speaking with Pastor Yvonne, she stated that the organization has an ongoing need for sweaters, light jackets, socks, hats and mitts to prepare for the fall weather, as well as shoes size 10+ for both men and women. They also need body lotion.
They were extremely grateful for the donation. Yvonne said, “It will go a long way in helping those in need.”
Local 1231 is continuing to take donations until the end of September, which can be left at IAM District 78 offices.
