Food Pantry:
In the spirit of Brotherhood, retirees Chris Tramel and Rex McAdow started a food pantry to provide assistance for out-of-work members of Local 445. The food pantry is supported by monetary and food donations from members as well as member-supported fundraisers.
Brothers Tramel and McAdow volunteer their time to manage the food pantry funds and inventory.
The food pantry is available to all out-of-work members of IBEW Local 445 during regular hours and anytime the hall is open for meetings and special events.
Monetary donations to support the food pantry can be made by cash or check. If you choose to mail a donation to the food pantry, please write "Food Pantry" on the memo line so we credit the correct account.
Food donations can be dropped off at the hall Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m to 4:30 p.m.
Thank you Chris and Rex for keeping the food pantry stocked and open, and thank you to the Brothers and Sisters who have donated funds and food.
