Community Services Committee
The Community Services Committee performs the important task of getting help for members and their families in times of need. If being there to assist when an emergency, natural disaster or even just hard times strike is something you feel strongly about, then this is the committee to give your time and effort to. Some examples of community service activities include:
- hurricane relief
- organ donor awareness
- food drives
- blood drives
- support for laid off workers
The Community Services Committee works through public and private organizations to assure that members faced with problems in emergency situations get relief when needed.
Generally, strike insurance benefits are handled by this committee when local unions are forced to demonstrate their economic strength. This committee serves as the local's link with the community as we all work together to help those in need.
