Fort McMurray Special Appeal – Tools for the World

Published on by Your Friends in the Tool Business1 Comment

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Fort McMurray who have been affected by the fire. Tools for the World is an ongoing program that helps get tools into the hands of people who need them most around the world. When disaster strikes, there is a huge need for tools. Right now that’s in Fort McMurray. We are taking donations of tools and equipment specially designated for Fort McMurray. This is a special appeal to anyone who has old tools that are just too good to throw out. Clean out your garage, shed, workshop or closet, if it is a good old tool, we’ll take it! Hand tools or power tools, tools for plumbing, electrical, automotive, construction, welding, metal working, carpentry, restoration, etc.! Most tools can be used in some way. All nine locations of KMS Tools are accepting donations for Fort McMurray and any surplus tools will be distributed as needed around the world. When the time comes to assist the people of Fort McMurray with rebuilding their community, KMS will get your donated tools into the hands of the people who need them, for free.

UPDATE: Tools For The World

Published on by Your Friends in the Tool Business

Is cleaning out the shed or garage on your “to do” list? Instead of throwing all those good old tools into the landfill, why not let them reach their full potential in the hands of those who need them most? Bring your good used tools down to any KMS Tools, and they’ll be sent around the world for community building projects.

If you don’t have any tools to donate, you can still help those in need by making a donation while you grab a FREE smokie and pop during KMS Coquitlam’s 3-day Christmas sale – December 15th to 17th! All donations will go towards sending the donated tools around the world.

Thank you for your generosity!
