Donating Equipment
Nearly all of our tools and equipment came to us through donations and collective purchases. If you have tools, materials, and equipment in good condition, we are always happy to consider donations. Please contact us in advance, so we can make sure we have the appropriate space to house your gift.
In addition to tools, we also welcome contributions for more mundane items, like paper goods and trash bags. Please see our Wishlist to see our current needs.

Lowell Makes has no paid staff, so we rely on the generosity of our wonderful volunteers for our complete operation. We are always looking for help, especially in the following ways:
