The Houston Community ToolBank is a 501c3 nonprofit tool lending program that provides fellow not-for-profit organizations with year-round access to an inventory of tools to support all aspects of nonprofit mission-focused activities and operations. We provide tools to enhance the charitable sector’s capacity to serve, facilitating hands-on volunteerism in the greater Houston area. The Houston ToolBank maintains a 9,000 sq. ft. warehouse in East Houston and an inventory of more than 300 different types of tools and equipment in volumes large enough to equip thousands of volunteers at a time. Access to ToolBank tools eliminates the need for agencies to incur the expense of purchasing, repairing, and storing tools, reducing the costs associated with service projects and allowing these agencies to focus more of their resources on their mission. The Houston ToolBank is an affiliate of ToolBank USA, the national network of ToolBanks. The Houston ToolBank is modeled after the highly successful Atlanta Community ToolBank, which has served greater Atlanta’s not-for-profit sector for more than 30 years. Though an affiliate of the ToolBank network, the Houston ToolBank is independently operated, governed by a local board of directors, and relies solely on local funding to fulfill its mission.
