IATSE Local 478 Response Team

IATSE Local 478 created a response team during the floods of 2016, and we’ve done many community outreach and disaster response team projects since then.

Recent 478 Response Team projects include: Lake Charles hurricane response, COVID-19 Medical Supply Drives, mask making, food distribution, and volunteering during COVID-19, 2 wheelchair ramps built for disabled members, work with the United Saints project to rebuild after tornadoes, and more. 

Through unity, resilience, and a heart for service, IATSE Local 478 stands ready to navigate these challenging times alongside our esteemed members and the broader community we proudly serve. Get involved by joining the response team facebook group.
