If you love to tinker with tools and are looking for a way to give back to your community, look no further than the Tool Library! The Matthew 25 Tool Library is a community resource that provides easy and affordable access to a variety of tools. Our library has an extensive collection of unique hand and power tools from miter, jig and chain saws to power washers and paint sprayers. We try to have a tool for every job and more importantly, offer this service for anyone in the community to access the tools they need to improve their homes and communities, at no or low cost. Many of these tools are used for our other home repair projects with volunteer groups!
As a 100% fully volunteer-run program, we are always looking for volunteers to help us continue providing this vital resource for the community. Volunteer tasks include assessing donated tools, helping customers complete their checkouts, and organizing and maintaining inventory.
