IAM Local 4 members and William W. Winpisinger Center (W3) staff hosted a group of veterans from the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home in Southern Maryland for lunch this week.
The W3 Center hosts the local veterans a few times a year and has done so for several years. The luncheon provides a social outing for the veterans, and members and W3 staff are honored to sit with them, break bread, and learn more about them through their stories and experiences.
Nearly 200 staff members at the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home are also members of IAM Local 4 (District 4) and cover a wide range of jobs, from Certified Nursing Assistants and Medicine Aids to skilled trades and technical workers like Electricians, Carpenters, and Medical Equipment Technicians.
“Our engagement with the veterans at Charlotte Hall is a unique experience. The IAM is committed to providing as much support and services as possible, extending beyond just VA benefits,” said IAM Veteran Services Coordinator Richard Evans. “If we can help fill a need for our veterans, we will.”
Over the years, the IAM has organized several initiatives to directly support our military veterans. From bringing holiday spirit to the home by collecting goods for veterans to raising money for capital improvement projects, the IAM will continue to serve those who’ve served.
