TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS

Please join us again as CFMA Western Michigan participates in a “Tools for Schools” program this fall benefiting the Academy for Design & Construction (“ADC”), a part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools. 
 
We will be collecting donated tools at our next General Membership Meeting, as well as, providing two drop off sites at member companies’ headquarters for those unable to make the meeting. If you would prefer to donate cash please use the attached QR code to our chapter’s PayPal (please be sure to note that the contribution is for Tools for Schools) or provide a check to someone on the board. 
 
The ADC works hard for our communities’ youth and is always in need of tooling and supplies to make the hands on learning come to life in and out of the classroom. Please join us in our continued support of this great program!

Drop off locations at FZ and Buist
