Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity is one of four Habitat chapters nationwide hosting events in coordination with the 2010 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project. The former president arrived in St. Paul for a Habitat fundraiser Wednesday and helped paint a house on St. Paul’s East Side on Thursday.
More than 50 members of St. Paul-based Local 110 are handling all electrical work on 10 Habitat homes this week, according to Vicki Sandberg, a spokesperson for the union. IBEW members also are handling project management and permitting services.
Over a span of four months ending in November, Sandberg said, union members “will have wired 10 new and rehabbed homes and provided upgrade and safety inspections to 11 more. In all hundreds of volunteer hours will be provided by IBEW electricians and contractors in support of Twin Cities Habitat and our community.”
On Monday afternoon, a crew of seven Local 110 members wired a Habitat home on York Avenue on the East Side. Ya Landa Kinchelow purchased the home and, after work on it is complete, will move in with her sons Taylor, 15, and Dale, 12.

Habitat has become a favorite avenue for the union’s community-service initiatives in recent years.
For each Habitat for Humanity home Local 110 members volunteer to wire, the union adds a sticker to its equipment trailer.
