Manitowoc launches limited-edition shirt to benefit Brooke's House
Manitowoc is selling limited-edition shirts to support Brooke's House, a nonprofit aiding women in recovery, according to a community announcement.
All proceeds from the 'Building Together' shirts will go directly to Brooke's House, which provides tools and training for women transitioning from addiction to recovery.
Manitowoc's partnership with Brooke's House extends beyond financial support. The company has trained and hired more than a dozen Brooke's House participants, integrating them into its welding and assembly operations. These women now contribute to manufacturing mobile hydraulic cranes, crawler cranes and boom trucks for Manitowoc's brands, including Grove, National Crane and Shuttlelift.
'Manitowoc believes in the mission of Brooke's House, and we recognize the challenges these women face as they re-enter the workforce,' said Dave Hull, Manitowoc's general manager. 'We're proud to offer them not just jobs but meaningful careers with sustainable income and limitless potential.'
The collaboration aims to build confidence, foster dignity and offer a fresh start for participants. Manitowoc's six-week welding school has helped several women embark on fulfilling careers.
The 'Building Together' shirts symbolize hope and change, raising awareness for Brooke's House and its mission to combat addiction and provide second chances.
