Your donation to this project will rock the world for a vocational student. Imagine living where, without tools, you cannot even apply for a job. Trade tools, if available, are very expensive; out of reach for a young family just starting out. In desperation, often graduates, so full of hope and promise, turn to unscrupulous business people who exploit vulnerable youth; renting them tools for enormous profits. So when you support this project, you are giving youth more than tools. You are giving hope for a brighter future.
October is harvest time! 'Trick-or-Treat for Tools' is the annual tool drive for Tools For Empowerment. This year the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Coram Deo Classical School and churches in TN, AL and GA are all participating. Click here to learn how YOU too can participate.
After this harvest, the work begins. Volunteers come together, with love and compassion, to clean, refurbish and pack tool donations. These go directly into the hands of vocational students; giving them hands-on experience and the opportunity to find work or start and business. Changing lives One Tool at a Time.
