It takes tools and a lot more to run a tool library. ​From high-fives, to tools, to financial contributions, we're grateful for your support. Here's how you can help.

Online Financial Donation

Please donate via the button below. Every donation—$5, $10, $20, or $100—makes a huge difference. You can also make an automatic monthly donation.

Other Ways to Donate

Cash or Check

​If you'd rather give cash or write a check (made out to "ToolBox Project"), please deliver donations to:

ToolBox Project
2235 Adams Street

Redeemable Bottles and Cans

​Turn your redeemable bottles and cans into tools. ToolBox Project participates in Bottledrop Give, which makes it easy for you to donate your bottle and can redemption value to nonprofits of your choice. Pick up a blue Bottledrop Give bag during ToolBox Project open hours, and return the filled bag to any Bottledrop location or the ToolBox Project. Your deposits will directly support our mission of sharing tools with the community.

Tools

Don't have cash, but want to contribute? We may need your tools. From hammers and rakes, to table saws and tile saws, your tool donations will help stock our ToolBox inventory. If we aren't able to include your donation in our inventory, we may be able to sell it and use the money for new tool purchases. And even if we can't sell or use it, we may still be able to benefit from your donation.
