We're 13 years old! Maybe we'll have more of a rebellious spirit this year!
This is the first firearm donated to us in February of 2013, an AK-47. Since then, we have destroyed thousands more in Colorado and built a national Guns to Gardens network with partners that has safe spaces for folx to get rid of unwanted fi****ms, including RAWtools affiliates in Philly, Rawtools Buffalo, and RawtoolsSouth
Most importantly, we've created safe spaces for survivors to be a part of the process of transforming a gun into a garden tool or art to help with their grief and healing.
To help support our work, use the coupon code in the Colorado Springs Store on our website to pick up items made form the unwanted fi****ms we've destroyed.
AND/OR become a recurring donor to help our work continue to build.
