Fifteen dedicated members of IAM Local 778 recently donated their time and effort to support Raytown Parks and Recreation with a major cleanup at Minor Smith Park near Kansas City, Mo.
This marks the second time Local 778 has volunteered in the park, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to community service. Volunteers focused on clearing heavy overgrowth surrounding a popular leisure path and bridge. Once the area was cleared, the team gave the bridge a fresh coat of paint, dramatically improving both the appearance and accessibility of the park.
“It’s not just about cleaning up, it’s about making the community better for everyone,” said IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli. “Every time we volunteer, we strengthen our bond, not just with each other, but with the community we serve. It’s rewarding to give back and see the immediate impact.”
“This is our second time at Minor Smith Park, and it’s easy to see how quickly nature can take over,” said IAM Local 778 Directing Business Representative Scott Brown. “The community always shows their appreciation, and it’s inspiring to see our members along with new faces eager to pitch in and make a difference.”
IAM Local 778 represents over 3,000 working families in the Kansas City area and continues to uphold its strong tradition of giving back to the communities where its members live and work.
H.E.L.P.S. stands for Honoring, Engaging, Lifting, Providing and Servicing.
