March for Tools

Thanks to Steve West & Roni Fody @ Hopewell UMC 

March is for Tools for Empowerment at the Hopewell United Methodist Church in Tyrone GA. Thanks to Rev. Billy Beard, Roni Fody & Steve West for the warm welcome on "Tool Sunday". When you donate your unwanted tools you will help a poor vocational school graduate use their newly-learned trade skills to find jobs or to start an enterprise.
