In early February, United Steelworker District 4 Women of Steel Conducted a Pack-a-Purse Event to assist women in local shelters. Purses were filled with personal use items such as combs, brushes, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotions etc.
This project is just one of so many USW’s amazing members do every day to give back to our communities. If you or your local are doing good things in your community, we want to hear about them. Let us know and share video and photos at www.usw.org/uswcares and use the #USWCares hashtag when you post your stories on social media. Don’t forget to shout out @Steelworkers!
