Giving Back
We believe strongly in giving back to the communities where we live and work. That’s why the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council is launching a new incentive program to reward our members’ generosity. Each hour spent volunteering for charitable causes in your community earns reward points that can be redeemed for awesome apparel and other swag at the MACRC’s online merch store.
