KANSAS CITY, MO and WICHITA, KS July 21, 2025 – Foley Equipment, the leading provider of Caterpillar parts, services, sales and rental in Kansas and NW Missouri, is proud to announce the launch of its “Parts with Purpose” campaign, a cause-driven initiative supporting veterans transitioning to skilled trades.

From July 217 through Veterans Day (November 11, 2025), Foley Equipment will donate $20 to Workshops for Warriors for every customer’s first online order placed during this period at Parts.Cat.Com/FoleyEquipment. Each eligible order directly supports career training for veterans and military spouses in advanced manufacturing and skilled trades.

“Veterans have the discipline, work ethic and mindset our industry thrives on,” said Edward Duggan, Foley’s Director of Parts, and a veteran himself. “Partnering with Workshops for Warriors allows us to give back in a meaningful way by helping service members build the next chapter of their careers.”

Workshops for Warriors (WFW.org) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to training, certifying and placing veterans into high-demand advanced manufacturing careers such as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, and welding and engineering. The organization boasted a 97% job placement rate in 2022.

Customers can take part by placing an online order at Parts.Cat.Com/FoleyEquipment. The $20 donation will be made automatically, no special code or additional steps required.
