Members of IBEW 520 are proud to work in many of the same communities where they have decided to live, establish roots and in many cases raise a family. We care about this area and want to see it grow and prosper.
The impact we make on our community is often not seen and under reported. But the proud members of IBEW Local 520 volunteer their skills and time to a wide variety of organizations. From construction efforts through Habitat for Humanity, to local youth sports and church affiliated initiatives, our members are willing to help in a wide variety of ways — making the cities and communities they call home just a little bit better.
