STOW, Ohio, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Matco Tools, a top-rated innovator in the tool manufacturing and mobile franchise industry, proudly supports military and veterans' families with its Tools for the Cause program.

Since Tools for the Cause began in 2012, Matco Tools has donated nearly $800,000 to research and community-based organizations. Along with partnering with the Fisher House Foundation, the Matco Tools for the Cause program also supports the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

"Many of our distributors and associates have either served or have a family member who has served in one of the branches of the military," explains Ben Gambrel, Matco Tools vice president of marketing.  "With its efforts to ease the burden on military families, the Fisher House Foundation is an excellent addition to the Tools for the Cause Program."
