Union pride. Community heart. 💪❤️

This past weekend, members of the Illinois Valley Building and Construction Trades put their skills to work for our neighbors through the Labor of Love project. From electrical repairs and HVAC, to exterior home repairs and improvements, our local union volunteers gave their time and talents to help make homes safer and better for families in our community.

Giving back is part of who we are. We live here, work here, and take pride in looking out for our neighbors.

Thank you to all the union members, apprentices, contractors (Ficek Electric,Halm Electrical Contracting, Chapman's Mechanical Systems, John's Service and Sales, LLC) and volunteers who helped make this weekend possible. These photos show what community service looks like—people coming together and making a difference!

This morning we were grateful to welcome members of Illinois Valley Builders Trades Council, who stopped by the Pantry with a generous $1,000 check to help neighbors in need. Gifts like this make a real difference for the families we serve, and we are so thankful.

Pictured (l-r) are our Union friends Kevin Dale, Eric Mrowicki and President Floyd Jones presenting the check to Pantry President Joe Nagle.
