Good Works Committee

Our Outreach to the Community and Members' Families in Need

Council 400 Member Chet Morgan Thanked State Comptroller Nancy Wyman for Her Strong Support of Veterans' Issues at Our Union Hall in May 2010

For 18 years, we have supported community organizations dedicated to providing opportunities for the neediest in Connecticut through our Good Works Committee. This effort has enabled our members to multiply support for local, grassroots advocacy through the power of our numbers.

Our members support a wide variety of community-based advocacy organizations that share our values and support our goal of building a more just and humane society. We have listed many of the local and regional charities to which our Union's Good Works Committee has contributed financial resources and member volunteers, along with links to their websites, below.

For the 2009 Thanksgiving holiday, our wider Union and our P-4 Council's own Good Works Committee joined forces again to collect, assemble, and distribute meals to those in need. More than two hundred turkey dinners were donated to area charities, as well as our own members whose families have faced extraordinary challenges this year.

In 2010, we are continuing to extend a helping hand to area charities and non-profits that support "good works," including a new project by the Chrysalis Center to aid veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
