As part of its Trade Tuesday campaign, SupplyHouse.com pledged to donate $2 for every engagement on special social media posts made in November. The trades community showed up to support the cause, with social media sharing efforts earning a $57,000 contribution, a press release from the PHCC said.

“Our contributions to support the trades are an investment in the future of our industry,” said Kyra Mitchell Lewis, head of integrated marketing at SupplyHouse.com. “It’s clear that our online community agrees and is eager to help make our impact even greater. We appreciate that and the work PHCC is doing to recruit and train the next generation of industry leaders.”

The SupplyHouse.com gift will support Educational Foundation scholarships to apprentices and college students pursuing studies directly related to the plumbing and heating and cooling industries, the PHCC said. Through the PHCC’s workforce development website, phccareers.org, it will also help educate the public on opportunities in the trades. It will also remove barriers for new job entrants by supporting the foundation’s online plumbing and HVAC workforce readiness course.

Additionally, an allocation to the foundation’s Invest in Your Future annual giving campaign will support workforce development initiatives, including foundation foremen and project manager workshops and apprentice competitions, the PHCC said.

“SupplyHouse.com has been an incredible partner,” said foundation chairman Kevin Tindall, of Tindall and Ranson Plumbing in Windsor, New Jersey. “They have a genuine desire to help people get their start and be successful in a trades career, which aligns with every program the foundation delivers. This gift provides the resources needed to continue growing our training programs and making them accessible to a broader audience.”
