Help Us Build a Space Where Weird Ideas Get Baked and Bolted Together

We’re building something big (and bold… and a little bit weird), and we need your help to stock the shop and the kitchen. If you’ve got equipment, tools, or supplies collecting dust, why not let them live their best life with us?

Whether it’s a spare mixer, a scroll saw, or a shelf full of bolts and buttons, we can put it to good use—and we’ll even send you a thank-you so heartfelt it might involve glitter.

What We’re Looking For

(And What We’re Not. Gotta draw the line somewhere.)

We’re currently accepting:

🛠 Shop Equipment – Saws, sanders, hand tools, workbenches, welding gear, PPE
🔥 Fabrication Tools – 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, soldering stations
🍳 Kitchen Gear – Commercial mixers, prep tables, cookware, utensils, refrigeration
🎨 Craft Supplies – Textiles, yarn, paints, glues, buttons, beads, etc.
📦 General Goods – Storage bins, shelves, stools, carts, cabinets, power strips
💡 Misc. Magic – Have something unusual? Let us know. We love a good mystery.

We can’t accept: broken tools we can’t repair, non-commercial kitchen appliances, unfixable electronics, or haunted dolls (again).

Other Ways to Give

Because some people like checkbooks and others like Venmo. We don’t judge.

One-Time or Monthly Donations

Every little bit helps, no matter how small. Really. Even that $5 you were saving for a fancy coffee.

Where Unused Tools Go to Live Their Best Life

Whether you're just around the corner or a few counties away, we’ll work with you to coordinate the smoothest handoff possible. Drop-off at one of our collection points? Easy. Need us to swing by with a truck? We’ll see what we can do. Prefer to ship it? We’ll guide you through that too. However it happens, we want this to be as effortless and appreciated as possible—for both you and your generous gear.

Fill out the form to tell us what you’ve got, and we’ll be in touch faster than you can say “oscillating spindle sander” (or “vintage Hobart mixer,” if you’re feeling fancy). Every donation helps us build a space where creativity, community, and opportunity can thrive—and yes, we’ll absolutely brag about your generosity while doing it.
