LHHS alumni Flexinfab grew up along Skillman Street, and said he felt that he was in a place in his life where he could give back to the community he grew up in. From there, he worked to create the Flexinfabs Tools 4 School event and donation drive happening this summer.
A map of the donation locations and the full flyers for both events can be found below.
