Woodworking Manufacturing Month serves as a platform for manufacturers to showcase the advantages of their machinery to the wider industry. This celebration also extends its support to a noble cause, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Established in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11 in New York City in 2001, this nonprofit organization is on a mission to "do good." Their initiatives include providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and constructing specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. Tunnel to Towers is also deeply committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and ensuring that America never forgets the events of September 11, 2001.
