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.

Redeemable Bottles and Cans

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.
