Minneapolis electrical union donates to north Minneapolis

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 292 is giving away $20,000 in free electrical service and repairs to homeowners affected by the the May 22 tornado. The union says certified and licensed IBEW professionals will restore power and make repairs for homeowners who received storm damage, but have little or no insurance coverage. That's up to $1,000 in free electrical service for a maximum of 20 homes. To qualify, homes must be located in the north Minneapolis tornado zone, be owner-occupied and have limited coverage from any type of insurance for the electrical damage.

Qualified homeowners should contact Betsy Hunter at the Minneapolis AFL-CIO Community Services Office at 612-379-8130, extension 112. Or call 311.
