Local 500 Donates to American Red Cross
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
The staff and volunteers
of the American Red Cross will have more funds at their
disposal to assist the Houston, TX-area victims of Hurricane
Harvey thanks to the generosity of Laborers’ International
Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 500. David Fleetwood,
Local 500 business manager, and the membership presented a
$10,000 check to Rachel Hepner-Zawodny, executive director
of the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio on Wednesday,
September 6. |

Director - American Red Cross of NWO, David Fleetwood,
Business Manager - LIUNA Local 500 |
LIUNA was organized April 13, 1903 and has a history of not
only building structures but also helping to improve the
quality of living by building and restoring communities.
Local 500, under Fleetwood’s direction, lives by the motto
of “To whom much is given, much is required.”
Local 500 donates to local and national community efforts on
a regular basis but Fleetwood and the executive board felt
it was necessary to appeal to the membership in this case to
dig a little deeper because the need is so great.
