IBEW Local 64 Helps Home for Needy
A pair of IBEW Local 64 journeymen, Bill Booth and Bob Sizer, each recently donated about 15 hours of their time to help with a renovation at the Dorothy Day House of Hospitality on Belmont Avenue in Youngstown.
The Dorothy Day House, a joint project of the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown and the Sisters of the Humility of Mary, provides meals and showers for the area's homeless. The house is located in a 100-year-old structure that formerly housed the Sterling McCullough Williams Funeral Home.
With the new renovation, for which the Western Reserve Building and Construction Trades Council helped arrange much of the work, the house will now be able to accommodate overnight guests.
Bill and Bob gave their time and professional skills to install baseboard heaters and new electrical outlets, switches and fixtures in two rooms being renovated for use as bedrooms for homeless needing overnight shelter. Youngstown Electrical Supply provided the reduced-price electrical materials.
The house, opened in late 2009, is named for the celebrated Catholic advocate of justice for the poor who is being considered for canonization as a saint of the Catholic Church. Dorothy Day, along with Peter Maurin, founded the Catholic Worker Movement in the 1930s.
