Rebuilding Together

Thanks to the generosity, skill and hard work of volunteers including 170 Local 130 members and contractors the 17th annual “Rebuilding Together” extended a helping hand to many more Chicago-area homeowners in need. This day-long community service project sent plumbers into many homes to install, service and repair sinks, toilets and water heaters so these people can have safe plumbing systems. Organizers said 74 homes, five community centers, and three landscaping projects benefited this year from the project.

Community leaders like Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and Cook Country President Todd Stroger joined union leaders to lend their support. “I think Rebuilding Together is a great project for the city and would like to thank all our members who have contributed to its success through the years,” said Business Manager James Sullivan.
