Habitat for Humanity

IBEW Local 103 is proud to collaborate with Habitat for Humanity to give back to our communities across eastern Massachusetts. We look forward to more volunteer opportunities, with safety measures in place, uniting the skills of IBEW Local 103 members with service to our neighbors in need.

The day before Mother’s Day, Business Agent Kenell Broomstein and several members of the IBEW Local 103 Women’s Committee stepped up to help in the final stages of this build. Located on Alpine Street, right off of Route 3A in Billerica, the existing singleunit home has been renovated for a local family. In an effort symbolic of the true Mother’s Day origins of peace and service, Local 103 women took on this project with energy and enthusiasm.

IBEW Local 103 and Local 223 apprentices, students from Building Pathways, and retirees worked hard together to wire a new home being constructed for a single father and his family in Easton, MA. Electrical contracting company, Sullivan & McLaughlin, generously donated tools and supplies.

Local 103 also invited Nashoba Valley Technical High School students to help construct six family homes in Salisbury, MA. Apprentices, students, and volunteers were touched to receive heart-shaped notes of gratitude from the kids whose families will be moving into the building.

The Boston JATC partnered with schools, including Nashoba Valley Technical High School, Medford Vocational Technical High School, and Greater Lawrence Technical School, to build four family homes and a two-family duplex in Andover, MA, with additional support from IBEW Local 103 retirees. Since these students were unable to access the usual hands-on shop classes this past year, the JATC engaged them in this project to help them hone their craft and give them an opportunity to experience the joy of serving their community.
