The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 420 and its members believe in giving back to their communities. They understand that their good union jobs have provided for them and their families. They see firsthand those who are not as fortunate and want to make a difference.

Giving back means more than simply giving monetary donations. It means being involved. Through programs they sponsor as well as involvement with other organizations they

• Help 50 families every winter holiday season to ensure those families have a good holiday meal with the Local 420 Holiday Food Basket program
• Volunteer with Rebuilding Together of Greater Green Bay to improve the homes and lives of low-income single-family homeowners with an emphasis on military veterans, the elderly, and disabled.

These are but only a few of the ways IUOE Local 420 gets and stays involved with building the communities they live and work in. It is because of this involvement that the IUOE Local 420 was presented with 2019 Gerald Koester Award by AFL-CIO Community Service Committee of the Greater Green Bay Labor Council.
