Through the Teamsters Service Bureau, Credit Union, Food Shelf and scholarships, we help provide members and families with help through difficult times, as well as opportunities for education, training and workplace advancement.
TEAMSTERS SERVICE BUREAU
The Teamsters Service Bureau has been assisting individuals for over 30 years as an independent non-profit human service agency, serving Teamster members and their families, as well as dislocated workers. Unexpected bumps in the road can get in the way of leading a productive life. They provide help when and where you need it through the Dislocated Worker Program and Family Services Program.
DISLOCATED WORKER PRORAM
Losing your job can be one of the most challenging events in your life. Job loss can cause economic hardship and add stress to your life. The Teamsters Service Bureau's employment services division, Minnesota Job Partners, has funds available to help laid-off workers get retrained and re-employed! Our concern is to recognize the worth of each individual and to preserve a worker's sense of dignity following the loss of a job.
FAMILY SERVICES PROGRAM

Our trained Service Bureau staff will help you define your problems and develop a plan to help you resolve them.

TEAMSTERS FOOD SHELFThe Teamsters Helping Teamsters Food Shelf (Teamsters Joint Council 32 Food Shelf) assists Teamster members and their families when they are out of work, sick, or on strike.
With the help of the Minnesota Teamsters Retirees Club and other volunteers, Chairman Lyndon B.

Truly a "Team" effort, Teamster employers donate food and personal care products to the Food Shelf, which is also generously supported by Joint Council 32 and its affiliated Local Unions and members.
