For the fifth consecutive year, the IAM Local 1746 Women’s Committee and the IAM Union Eastern Territory collaborated with East Hartford Public School in Connecticut to support a backpack rally event. The initiative 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 school supplies at the event. Items included pencils, pens, rulers, activity books, stickers, and other materials branded with the IAM union name.
The partnership between these organizations aims to provide essential school items to students in East Hartford as they prepare for the academic year.
“IAM Union Local 1746 and IAM Union Eastern Territory volunteers handed out thousands of IAM union pencils, pens, rulers, activity books, stickers, and other items at the event,” organizers said.
This marks another year of ongoing community engagement by both groups in support of local education initiatives.
