Harvesters needs our continued help. At our November Union Meeting, Local 533 Pipe Fitters rose to the call and made a generous donation to Harvesters from the Local 533 membership.
This is just a drop in the bucket in comparison to what is needed; however, anything helps, however large or small. Let’s help more of these families in need have a nice Thanksgiving.
