WHAT IS Tools for Schools?

Tools for Schools (TFS) provides a place where individuals and businesses can donate school supplies or office supplies. Schools and organizations supporting disadvantaged children choose needed items. Children get school supplies, teachers get equipment for thier classrooms, and it is all diverted from the landfill.

It's Been a Busy Summer

Tools Visitors We are thankful for ongoing donations this summer. Hundreds of teachers have visited Tools for Schools last summer, and selected school supplies and classroom equiment. Often the donated items are selected the same day they are dropped off.

Have Furniture or other Big Items?

Our Tools for Schools room is not big enough for furniture, gym equipment, copy machines, or other big items. If you have these items, don't throw them away!. Please post it on our book rescue newsgroup.

The Tools for Schools Program began with a grant from Tellabs Foundation. In order to keep it going, we need an ongoing supply of volunteers and donations. If you are interested in donating your time or money please Donate.
