The trades and technical education programs in Minnesota, Missouri, South Carolina and Ohio received a donation of tools, including welding tables, impact wrench kits and safety equipment, totaling $20,000 to help support hands-on learning in technical education programs.
“We're incredibly grateful for the generous tool donation by Northern Tool + Equipment to our Automotive Trades Program- this investment empowers our students with hands-on learning and real-world skills. This support drives our mission forward and helps shape the workforce of tomorrow,” said Shaun Karsten, Principal of the Wright Technical Center in Buffalo, MN.
These donations are a continuation of Northern Tool + Equipment's dedication to supporting technical education programs through Tools for the Trades™, which has contributed thousands of dollars and countless hands-on experiences for trades programs across the country.
In addition to supporting the trades, Northern Tool + Equipment donated more than 35,000 units of disposable gloves to all eight Feed My Starving Children locations.
“Each year, about 400 million meals are produced by volunteers who donate their time to pack food at our eight packing locations in Minnesota, Illinois, Arizona and Texas. Because of Northern Tool's extremely generous donation, they've helped us provide over 140,000 meal servings to our partners, allowing them to feed nearly 400 kids for an entire year,” said Michael Austin, Purchasing Manager for Feed My Starving Children.
The disposable food-grade gloves are needed to help the organization run smoothly and prioritize the health and safety of staff, volunteers and those they serve.
“We are dedicated to giving back to the communities we live and work in. Helping support our community members, neighbors and public schools with these donations is an easy choice,” said Wade Kotula, CEO of Northern Tool + Equipment.
