TREA is looking at setting up a tool lending library. Would you have any tools to donate for food processing/small repairs? Would you have any interest to borrow tools?

TREA is always interested to have new volunteers to help us with outreach, marketing, special projects and event planning. We also like to share updates with our community through a monthly newsletter and often organize workshops and events. Are you interested in being contacted about any of those opportunities?
