Replacing Stolen Truck & Equipment
Tax deductible
The Texas Trees Foundation Needs Your Help
What Happened
This summer, a truck and about half the Texas Trees Foundation’s inventory of equipment was stolen from one of our urban tree farms. This overwhelming loss makes completing projects difficult as the truck is necessary for tree planting, transporting equipment, watering trees, and other projects. The additional loss of equipment is devastating. Some of the items stolen included a full tool box, shade cloth used to protect trees from damage during transportation, and the most impactful, 80 shovels necessary for tree planting volunteer days. The Texas Trees Foundation can not continue to do the work we have been doing at the same rate without these tools.
What is Needed
The Texas Trees Foundation is asking for $40,000, which will purchase a new 3 quarter ton truck with a full cab and replace all the stolen equipment.
Why We Need Help
Replacing these items will be expensive. That is why the foundation is asking for the help of our community and supporters. If additional funds can be raised to replace these items, then the money will not have to come from the general fund, meaning no current projects will be disturbed.
