How to Help

The Ballard Tool Library is fueled by donations and work by our dedicated volunteers. We’re always accepting used tools and household items, and can provide a tax receipt for your records. Please keep in mind we can only accept tools when volunteers are working, and we cannot take gas powered tools. We may sell some donated items – all proceeds will benefit the Ballard Tool Library.

If you wish to donate or volunteer, email manager@ballardtoollibrary.org for more information.
