The Central Midwest Carpenters are dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and serve. Throughout 2025, there were many projects, volunteer opportunities, and community engagements that took place. These few examples are just some of the ways that CMRCC Members are constantly stepping up and lending a helping hand to those who need it around us.
The Central Midwest Carpenters is, in its essence, is a family. We are bound together with brotherhood and sisterhood. Some members claim a deeper connection with their fellow members – having multiple generations in the CMRCC. These quotes are from a few of them who are especially appreciative of the fact that they get to carry on the legacy of being a union carpenter with their last name.
Outreach Specialist with the Central Midwest Carpenters, Gavin Gottfried, along with three others across the United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC), were given an award for the unwavering support that they have provided to the Military Veterans Program (MVP). They were presented a Flag of Valor by Executive Director of the UBC Millwright/Pile Driver Labor Management, Mark Benacquisto, at the UBC Millwright Leadership Conference held at the Carpenters’ International Training Center in Las Vegas.
