Sonnhalter will host its 17th Annual Tool Drive in partnership with Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. Since launching the initiative in 2010, Sonnhalter’s Tool Drive has raised $603,000 in donations to support Habitat’s mission of providing safe, affordable housing opportunities throughout Northeast Ohio.

Sonnhalter’s Annual Tool Drive will run throughout the month of August. Organizations, businesses and manufacturers are encouraged to donate demo models, extra inventory, tools and building materials to benefit Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. Donations collected through the Tool Drive help support Habitat’s homebuilding efforts and fund ReStore operations across Cuyahoga and Lorain counties.

“Each year, we continue to be inspired by the incredible generosity of our clients, partners and the Northeast Ohio community,” said Matt Sonnhalter, vision architect at Sonnhalter. “What began as a small initiative has grown into a meaningful annual tradition that supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission while bringing the trades community together for a greater purpose. Reaching more than $603,000 in donations is a milestone we are extremely proud of, and we are excited to build on that momentum during our 17th year.”

The Sonnhalter Tool Drive encourages businesses and manufacturers within the trades industry to look through warehouses and facilities for overstock inventory, unused demo models and gently used tools or materials that can be donated to support Habitat’s efforts. 

Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity has helped hundreds of local families achieve safe and affordable homeownership while strengthening neighborhoods across Northeast Ohio. Donations collected through the Tool Drive will either be used directly for Habitat projects or sold through one of Greater Cleveland Habitat’s ReStores. Proceeds from ReStore sales help fund homebuilding and rehabilitation programs for families in need.

“The Sonnhalter team continues to demonstrate what true community partnership looks like,” said Laura Potter-Sadowski, director of ReStores at Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. “Their commitment to bringing together clients, manufacturers and local supporters for this cause helps us make a lasting impact throughout the communities we serve. We are incredibly grateful for their constant support and excited to celebrate the 17th Annual Tool Drive together.”
