Every month, the United Auto Workers, Local 1765 community service committee chooses a new non-profit project to help the area. Over 250 backpacks and 500 dollars in school supplies were fund raised in the third “Stuff the Bus” campaign. The donations will be given to Lima City Schools to hand out at their annual school supplies giveaway.

Dana Incorporated and the United Auto Workers, Local 1765 have teamed up to support multiple assisted living facilities in the area, as they remain on strict lockdowns. The automotive parts company and union donated grills, flowers, birdbaths, and feeders, and face masks to the nursing homes. They include The Greens at Lochhaven Assisted Living, Shawnee Manor, and Lost Creek Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. UAW’S community service committee asked the union for a donation for the project, and Dana matched it. The committee hopes adopting these assisted living facilities can provide some normalcy to the residents during this time.
