Tool campaign gearing up

The annual Trick or Treat For Tools campaign is on and October is a perfect time to rummage trough the rust and dust in the garage or basement to find tools to donate. Those unwanted tools can change lives and bring hope to youth in Haiti.

Trick-or-Treat for Tools is a project of A Self-help Assistance Program (ASAP), a Peachtree City-based nonprofit organization working to cultivate self-reliance and foster cross-cultural understanding since 1992. Tool donations are refurbished by volunteers and shipped to young vocational school graduates in auto mechanics, carpentry, masonry, electrical, metalwork, and plumbing in Haiti – where high-quality tools are not available and all tools are very expensive.

Tool donations can be dropped off at Tools For Empowerment, 341C D-Bob Industrial in Peachtree City.
