A great partnership was formed between Liberty Manor for Veterans and ToolBank, ToolBank is also a 501c3 non-profit organization located in Tampa, Florida. The mission of ToolBank – serves community-based organizations by providing tools, equipment & expertise to empower their most ambitious goals. When a natural disaster strikes in the United States, our nonprofit mobilizes to support those in need, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles to lend a hand. The profound need within an affected community is often answered by the goodwill of Americans wanting to do good work. ToolBank Disaster Services offers a critical resource to bridge the gap between the cresting waves of disaster and relief. ToolBank Disaster Services provides the tools, literally, to get the job done. They deploy staff and various size trailers filled with tools to equip community-based organizations and their volunteers at no cost.
The ToolBank concept was created in Atlanta in 1991 with the idea of neighbors helping neighbors by giving their time and loaning their tools to do home repairs for their neighbors in need. In 2008, ToolBank USA was launched to replicate the model and establish ToolBanks throughout the United States. The ToolBank’s signature lending model allows charities to focus on their mission by relying on ToolBanks to provide, store, and repair critically-needed tools and equipment. ToolBanks share their resources with charitable groups so they can equip volunteers to efficiently complete work in less time, with the right tools, at minimal costs. Using ToolBank tools, community-based organizations avoid the expense of purchasing, repairing, and storing tools.
Liberty Manor for Veterans was presented with twenty-five assembled picnic tables due to the benevolence of ToolBank and Home Depot Tampa!
