As part of our 2026 Day of Service during the NABTU Legislative Conference, Helmets to Hardhats was proud to support a project at the Armed Forces Retirement Home and give back to those who have served our country. Each year, this event brings together partners and volunteers to make a positive impact in the local community through service and skilled trades work.

A huge thank you to DEWALT for providing the tools and PPE to help get the job done safely and efficiently. We definitely love seeing those DEWALT tools hard at work!
