🪣Showing up for Southern Colorado🏔️ When flooding impacts a community, recovery starts with neighbors helping neighbors.💪💙 Last week, ToolBank Disaster Services helped support flood relief efforts in Pagosa Springs and Durango, CO, with 192 @Grainger disaster-relief buckets headed to the region. Our friends at The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services are transporting the buckets to the local Emergency Operations Center (EOC), where they’ll be distributed to individuals impacted by the recent flooding. And we’re not stopping there, Jaime Valle, our Rocky Mountain Territory Manager, is also in conversations with Colorado Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (COVOAD) to explore opportunities to get additional tools into the area as recovery efforts continue. Huge thanks to Grainger and The Salvation Army EDS for helping get essential supplies where they’re needed most. Together, we’re helping communities take the next steps toward recovery.🛠️💙 #toolbank #toolsforchange #colorado #teamgrainger #salvationarmy

🛠️WHEN PLANS CHANGE, THE MISSION TO HELP DOESN’T!🌳 In Milton, FL, recovery from Hurricane Isaias means being ready to roll up your sleeves wherever help is needed. ToolBank Disaster Services Director Bill Hess joined Pastor Laura from @faithresponders and student volunteers from @standrewsbaystemacademy to tackle fallen trees and clear debris where the Faith Responders are staying.🌳💪 The group originally planned to help with a meal distribution, but when cleanup needs took priority, they pivoted and got to work. That's the spirit and flexibility that goes into disaster response: seeing a need, adapting, and showing up for one another.🤝🪚 A HUGE THANK YOU to Faith Responders for their continued service to communities impacted by this hurricane, and to Mrs. Vickers, Principal of St. Andrews Bay STEM Academy, for allowing these students to volunteer, helping make this hands-on service opportunity possible. And to all the student volunteers, thank you for bringing your energy and compassion to help the community recover.👏 🎓 A little about St. Andrews Bay STEM Academy: This college-prep, STEM-focused private high school makes academics hands-on, fun, and affordable. Students don't just learn; they experience education in unique, engaging ways. What a great example of putting learning into action and making a difference beyond the classroom!🔬🧰 When disaster strikes, recovery takes teamwork, flexibility, and people willing to step up wherever they're needed.🛠️💙 #toolbank #toolsforchange #toolsforhope #disasterservices #hurricaneisaias #milton #florida #faithresponders #flexibility

🔥A POST-STORM REMINDER: HAZARDS CAN IGNITE IN AN INSTANT.⚠️ While supporting Hurricane Isaias recovery efforts in Milton, FL, ToolBank Disaster Services Director Bill Hess captured footage of a fire that broke out when a leaking generator ignited flammable liquids, setting nearby brush ablaze. Thankfully, first responders arrived quickly and extinguished the flames before the fire could spread to surrounding trees, homes, and businesses. We are grateful for their swift action and dedication to keeping the community safe!🚒🧑‍🚒👏 As cleanup efforts continue across impacted communities, please remain vigilant and follow local safety guidance. ToolBank is proud to support the volunteers and organizations helping with cleanup, and we're thankful for the first responders who help keep those communities safe.💙🛠️ #toolbank #toolsforchange #toolsforhope #disasterservices #hurricaneisaias #milton #florida

🪣800 DISASTER-RELIEF BUCKETS. ONE COMMUNITY. A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP.🌀💙 Milton, FL, is facing extensive cleanup following Hurricane Isaias, with downed trees and debris impacting the community. Today, ToolBank Disaster Services is teaming up with @catholiccharitiesnwfl to help residents take the next step toward recovery. ToolBank Disaster Services Director Bill Hess joined Matthew Knee, President & CEO of Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida, to highlight today's distribution of 800 @Grainger disaster-relief buckets at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Milton.🛠️🪣 Packed with essential cleanup supplies and tools, these buckets will help residents tackle debris and begin putting their communities back together. As Catholic Charities approaches its 100th anniversary, Matthew shared an important reminder: approximately 90% of the people they serve are non-Catholic. Their services are for everyone, and all are welcome!🙏❤️ This is what disaster recovery looks like: organizations coming together, sharing resources, and meeting communities where they are. No single organization can do it alone, but through strong partnerships, we can get critical supplies into the hands of people who need them most. A HUGE THANK YOU to Grainger for providing these 800 disaster-relief buckets and to Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida for helping connect these resources with Milton residents. Your partnership is helping turn preparation into action and compassion into community recovery!💪 When disaster strikes, partnerships make the difference. ToolBank Disaster Services is proud to help communities recover, one tool and one helping hand at a time.🛠️💙 #toolbank #toolsforchange #toolsforhope #disasterservices #hurricaneisaias #milton #florida #teamgrainger #catholiccharities

🛠️Out West, our tools are helping communities prepare for a safer future!🌿 Since September, our West Coast Territory Manager, Art Garciacano, has been supporting a series of community cleanup events in Altadena, CA, where volunteers are rolling up their sleeves to clear brush and overgrown vegetation that can increase wildfire risk.🔥🧑‍🚒 As this need grew, ToolBank Disaster Services established a satellite location in Altadena to get essential tools and equipment into the hands of the people doing this important work. With resources closer to the community, we can better support ongoing cleanup efforts and help neighbors take action to build a safer, more resilient Altadena.🏘️🤝 We’re grateful to Art and all the community partners working together to support recovery and wildfire preparedness. When communities have the tools they need, incredible things happen!🧰🛠️ 📸 Take a look at these photos from a recent cleanup event with ToolBank tools and our new Altadena satellite location! #toolbank #toolsforchange #altadena #volunteer #wildfires #disasterpreparedness
