Southside Worker Center Tool Library!

If you're either magically in Tucson and can give a physical item, or if you would like to send them a Home Depot gift card ASAP,  you will make it possible for members of the Southside Worker Center in Tucson to get more solid work opportunities and make Tucson healthier!

Brief background: the Worker Center is one of the ministries of Southside Presbyterian Church, and it is organized by and for day laborers who are primarily men who have immigrated from Mexico and Central America looking to make solid money to provide for their families. Through the Center they contract with employees, receive work and know-your-rights trainings, work to make their community safer and healthier, and support one another and their families.


Here are details from the desk of Raul Alcaraz-Ochoa, Organizer at the Worker Center (and amazing activist to boot)...

"The Southside Worker Center is working towards creating a rent-a-tool library so that workers can have access to tools they may need for a paint job, yard work, construction work and more!

Please contact us at southsidecentro@gmail.com or call us at 520-955-8165 if you are able to get us a tool donation OR a Home Depot Gift Card between now and January 15th. Thanks!"
