For the fourth year, Associated Bank and Brewers Community Foundation teamed up to host various Stock the Box^TM tool drives to support Housing Resources, Inc. (HRI). Brewers fans and their families were invited to donate new or gently used tools at a tool drive on Father’s Day at Miller Park.

In addition, Briggs & Stratton Corporation and We Energies hosted a corporate tool drive for colleagues that was attended by Brewers player Corey Knebel.

“Housing Resources, Inc. is grateful to partner with organizations like Associated Bank, Brewers Community Foundation, Briggs & Stratton Corporation and We Energies,” said Trena Bond, executive director, HRI. “These partnerships make a positive difference in our community by helping us to facilitate neighborhood improvement and support homebuyers.”

The combined drives collected 716 much-needed tools for HRI’s Tool Loan Center, a low-cost solution for local homeowners who wish to do their own home repairs and maintenance. HRI also loans tools to community organizations to aid in neighborhood clean-ups, beautification or maintenance projects.

“We take pride in partnering with the Brewers Community Foundation to support the Housing Resources, Inc. Tool Loan Center,” said Erica DeQuaine, corporate events & volunteer program manager, Associated Bank. “The additional support from Briggs & Stratton Corporation and We Energies allows us to make an even deeper impact in Milwaukee neighborhoods.”
