Because Your Cause is Our Core...
The Atlanta Community ToolBank works to increase your capacity to serve, on time and under budget!
Our Tool Lending inventory provides access to more than 160 different tool types, yes -that means items such as hammers, rakes, etc.- for use in community service projects. Fellow non-profits and civic organizations are eligible to join the ToolBank and put our blue tools to good use year-round. Whether you are renovating/maintaining a park, painting a mural, building a playground or organizing a community clean-up, the ToolBank can equip your volunteers for a successful project.
In 2011, the ToolBank equipped over 46,000 volunteers to complete more than 1730 service projects in every corner of metro Atlanta.
Please note, the ToolBank is not open to individuals. So, if the project is being conducted on an individual's property or is for personal profit, rather than meeting a community need, our program would not be the right fit.
Tool Lending appointments are available Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. and must be scheduled in advance in order to ensure the most efficient experience possible.
