Tool Donation Drive for KMS Tools For The World

Published on by KMS ToolsLeave a comment

KMS Tools is having a tool drive at our KMS Tools Edmonton West store on May 16!  KMS Tools accepts donations of good working tools all year round for our Tools for the World program, with an immediate need right now to fill two containers. The first container is scheduled to ship in June to Honduras and the second to Somalia later this summer. 

Get your spring cleaning on, and drop by from 9am-5pm for this special tool donation drive, with special guest David McAuley, (@theeupcycler)!  He’ll be on-site in the morning for a meet-and-greet and to collect empty gas and propane tanks. He will also be donating two pallets of tools himself to the cause!

Clean out your garage or shop for a cause!  The best items to donate are hand tools, and working corded power tools, but any tool or piece of equipment that can be used here, can also be used in remote communities all over the world, from automotive equipment, to garden tools, carpentry tools, to plumbing!

Believing that education, clean water, and health care are key to breaking the cycle of poverty, KMS has always been a big supporter of child sponsorships.

World Vision and Compassion offer a path to self-sustainability for children around the world and their entire communities by partnering with them to better their agriculture, education, business training, sanitation, and more!

This year we’ve expanded our support to an additional 145 kids! With a total of 245 child sponsorships, we’ll now be giving $117,588 annually to defeat poverty!

For many years, KMS Tools has been supporting children around the world, helping them to get the clean water, nutritious food, access to medicines, and education that every child deserves.  Our sponsorship also greatly impacts their communities, encouraging them towards self-sustainability.  With 50 children in 27 countries to our name, we gave $23,400 to bring hope through World Vision in 2015.

Thank you for supporting KMS, so that we can continue to support children in need!
