Giving Back
The idea of service has always been at the root of The Leather Guy, stemming from our owners community outreach and mission work.
We seek ways to incorporate their passion into our business and aim to raise awareness of people and organizations that may get overlooked. Through donations of our time and leather to raising funds with our customers’ help, we give back in our own small ways.
Currently, we are raising funds for Passion 4 Guatemala through our “Round-Up” program at checkout. If you can, consider rounding up your purchase to the nearest dollar and help us rebuild towns destroyed by natural disasters.
We hope you’ll take a moment of your time and check out the missions of these organizations that are so special to us.
Human trafficking is something that can be ended and we support Himal’s work in stopping trafficking and helping those affected.
Keith & Tracy’s mission work brought this organization to their attention as it serves the same towns they formed a deep attachment to.
Many of us in The Leather Guy family have veterans in our lives and we believe veterans deserve a hand up and support when needed.
Each summer we donate everything needed to teach the kids at Camp Victory leatherworking basics and introduce them to a new way of working with their hands.
We are firm believers that no one in your community should struggle when there is enough to go around. The Resource Center ensures that their food bank is always stocked and ready for those who need it.
Addiction has affected many of our lives. Teen Challenge is an amazing resource that frees people from life controlling issues through the power of Jesus.

A "Thank You" from Passion 4 Guatemala:
All of us at Sueño Canastas and Passion 4 Guatemala want to thank you so much for your continued donations and support of our project in Guatemala.
Last year in November our artisans and their entire village lost everything in devastating, back to back, hurricanes. Also destroyed in the flooding was our leather shop and use of our canasta shop. The leather shop lost absolutely everything! This all occurred after a very difficult year of COVID which greatly impacted our sales and our artisans work. Your donation of $2446.82 has been instrumental in helping us get back on our feet again and sustain this project through these difficult times.
Your donation allowed these artisans to be able to work more days a week so they could provide for their families and begin to replace some of the things that they lost in the floods. This work has empowered them to afford their education and gives them hope for a better future. Because the floods destroyed everything, including their homes, their cost of living has increased greatly because of rent and the need to purchase necessities. Your donation has allowed us to pick up the cost of their education, books and school supplies so they can continue to receive their education while providing for their families.
It is a blessing to watch hope growing in their hearts each day and we are so grateful to God and to people like you that have shown up in this difficult time to let them know they are not forgotten! Thank you so much for your sacrifice. You are making a huge impact in the lives of these artisans, their families and their village!
