For the fifth consecutive year, the IAM Local 1746 Women’s Committee and the IAM Union Eastern Territory have worked with East Hartford Public School in Connecticut to support a backpack rally event. The partnership involved collecting donations, packing backpacks, and participating as a vendor during distribution day.
Volunteers from IAM Union Local 1746 and the IAM Union Eastern Territory distributed thousands of items at the event. These included pencils, pens, rulers, activity books, stickers, and other school supplies branded with the IAM union logo.
The initiative aims to provide students in East Hartford with necessary materials for the upcoming school year. This ongoing collaboration highlights continued community involvement by both union groups.
