A fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, Missouri’s stolen tools valued at $15,000
$15,000 of tools and building supplies from Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, Missouri’s stolen truck and trailer will not be recovered. The Greene County Sheriff’s Office and Springfield Police Department recovered our stolen truck and trailer, but the tools that are used to build and repair homes in Woodland Heights as part our ongoing Neighborhood Revitalization efforts are lost.
“Without tools, we can’t build and repair homes for residents of Woodland Heights,” said Larry Peterson, Executive Director. “We have to put current projects on hold and we can’t start critical repairs until we can replace our stolen equipment.”
Media Coverage:
Within a week of the media sharing the news that our construction truck and trailer full of tools were stolen from our offices, our property was found. We are incredibly grateful to our supportive media community for sharing our story.
- Springfield Business Journal: Habitat for Humanity fundraising to cover stolen tools, supplies – December 6, 2017
- KY3/KSPR: Fundraising Campaign Underway to Replace Stolen Tools from Habitat for Humanity – December 5, 2017
We are thankful for the teamwork of the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Springfield Police Department, the media, and our community for assisting with the recovery of the missing truck and trailer. We are hopeful funds to purchase tools will be raised quickly in order to continue our mission of building and repairing homes for low-income families.
