In this issue of The Good Stuff, Sonnhalter is coordinating its annual tool drive for the Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity.
CLEVELAND – Sonnhalter, a communications firm marketing to the professional tradesman in construction, industrial, and MRO markets, will be hosting its Annual Tool Drive. This year marks its sixteenth year in partnering with Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. Since 2010, Sonnhalter has raised $567,000—more than half a million in donations for this cause.
Sonnhalter’s Annual Tool Drive runs Friday, August 1, through Sunday, August 31. All organizations, businesses, and manufacturers are encouraged to donate demo models, extra inventory, tools, and building materials to the Tool Drive. Donations will benefit Greater Cleveland Habitat’s mission of building homes and empowering families with safe and affordable home ownership.
“Each year, we are incredibly impressed by the remarkable generosity of Northeast Ohio and the trades community. It is a powerful testament to what can be accomplished in the name of a greater cause such as supporting Habitat for Humanity,” said Matt Sonnhalter, vision architect at Sonnhalter. “With the annual outpouring of donations and commitment to the Tool Drive, we have been able to donate more than $567,000 to this shared purpose. With continued support and momentum, we are setting our sights even higher this year!”
The Sonnhalter Tool Drive encourages those within the trade industry to look through their warehouses for extra inventory and overstocked tools or items that they would be willing to donate.
Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity has helped more than 300 Habitat homeowners, including over 1,000 children, have a safe and decent place to live. The donated items will be used for Habitat for Humanity projects or will be sold at one of the organization’s three ReStores, discount home improvement stores that serve Cuyahoga and Lorain Counties. Proceeds from ReStore sales are used to help Habitat build and rehabilitate homes for those in need.
“This partnership is a testament to Sonnhalter’s deep commitment to both the community they serve and the environment through the items they help divert from landfills,” said Laura Potter-Sadowski, director of ReStores at Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. “Their Annual Tool Drive is something we look forward to every year. It’s a meaningful way to engage with supporters beyond the walls of the ReStore.”
