Greenberg of Technology Management Corp. creates Keys for Hope organization

Technology Management Corp. (TMC) is a scrap metal recycling facility specializing in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.  Ralph Greenberg is the founder and president/owner of TMC.  Prior to its formation, Greenberg was involved in buying, refurbishing, and reselling laboratory and medical equipment worldwide. Presently located at 69 Memorial Dr., TMC is a specialized metal recycling plant with a drive-in valet service. Customers, with a single metallic item or a truckload of metal drive into the clean, pristine yard, their metal is unloaded and weighed by knowledgeable staff and they are paid on the spot. For larger customers, they offer a drop-off and pick-up container service. Since the inception of TMC, Greenberg has had the opportunity to travel to some of the most remote areas of the world including Siberia (among other parts of Russia), China, Africa, United Kingdom, Germany, & Canada. After his travels and seeing poverty stricken parts of the world first hand and attending the "Walk for Poverty" in Gleneagle, Scotland during the G-8 summit, he decided that something had to be done. Understanding that in today's economy direct monetary contributions are burdensome on most households. Greenberg had to come up with an idea.  In 2006 he founded a non-profit organization called "Key For Hope'', TAX Id # 20-3761866 It all began with an idea... the idea that there had to be another way to help aside from requesting cash donations.  In 2006 using his recycling background he began to recycle keys. It's estimated that 400 million keys are thrown away yearly. Instead of tossing old unused keys, they can be recycled and the proceeds of the scrapping of the metal are used to fund local food banks and end homelessness in our own communities.  Presently, Key For Hope is employing various methods of raising awareness for key deposits and collection. Since awareness and education starts with children, we have established classroom key drives in schools and are providing key depositories in public establishments. Ultimately their goal is to segway from key drives to the education and collection of all scrap metals and to employ the homeless and the poverty stricken to disassemble machinery and other forms of scrap metal and donate the proceeds to local food pantries and homeless shelters right here at home.  Greenburg's ultimate global vision is to help the poverty ridden not only locally but around the world. Just as "one vote can make a difference" one key can also make a difference and help strike out poverty and homelessness.  Key For Hope not only helps preserve the earth and environment by not cluttering landfills with metallic recyclable metals, but uses these items, i.e. keys, to raise the necessary funds for the eradication of poverty and homelessness. In Greenburg's mind it all begins with education, and continues until both poverty and homelessness are useless words confined only to the dictionary.    In the words of the great Ghandi, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."  We can all hope for change, but Key For Hope working to make that change happen one key at a time. Don't be among those who just hope for change; know that you hold the key to change our local communities aiding those who are less fortunate.  For more information on how you can get involved, volunteer, or donate to help make your community and our world a better place visit www.keyforhope.org
