More Ways to Support
Materials & Tools
Your donation of materials and tools makes a direct impact on our students’ training and the success of our housing projects. From lumber and hardware to safety equipment and power tools, every contribution helps equip our students with the resources they need to build, learn, and succeed. Whether you’re a business with surplus inventory or an individual wanting to support the next generation of tradespeople, your generosity provides invaluable hands-on opportunities for our youth.
Food & Clothing
Access to basic necessities like food and clothing is essential for our students to succeed. Your donation of non-perishable food items, grocery gift cards, or fresh produce helps ensure our students have the nourishment they need to focus on their education and training.
Clothing donations, including professional attire, work boots, and seasonal essentials, empower our youth to show up ready for the challenges ahead. Whether it’s a job interview, a construction project, or a leadership event, your contributions help students build confidence and prepare for success.
Technology
Technology is vital for today’s learning and workforce environments. By donating laptops, tablets, software, or other tech tools, you can help bridge the digital divide for our students.
