Our members donated and helped distribute backpacks to local children, making sure students could head into the new school year with the supplies they need.

Thank you to Framingham Parks & Recreation, Framingham Police Athletic League, and everyone who helped make this event possible.

Strong unions support the families and communities where we live and work. 💪🎒
