Waterside Workshops seeks many additions to our working tool supply as well as general administrative necessities. Here are specific items we'd very much appreciate having -- and don't forget to ask about tax deductibility. If you can donate these items or have similar items you think may be useful to us, please contact us! You can email us through our website contact form.
Woodworking Tools
Our boat shop could use all manner of hand tools.
- Sand Paper
- Drill Bits
- Staple Guns
- Files
- Hand Planes
- Chisels
Bicycles & Bike Parts
Have an old, run-down bike taking up space? Or perhaps it's in good shape and you're thinking of selling it? Chances are in both cases that you can do well by doing good. Donate your bike to SLC where we can rebuild it and make it available to someone in need -- and you get a tax deduction. Please read our Donation Guidelines before donating a bicycle.
Other Items that are needed in the Bike shop include:
- Rubber Mechanic Type Gloves
- Fire Extinguishers
- Fire Safe Oily Waste Trash Cans
- Large Secure Locking Metal Cabinet for tool storage
- Paint Spray Gun
- Screwdrivers , Metric Allen wrenches , Adjustable Wrenches etc.
- Cash Register
- Clean Cotton Rags. T-shirts and towels work great.
Fabric and Sewing Notions
With all kinds of projects going on we're eager to have lengths of fabric and odds & end notions that you may otherwise get rid of especially sewing machine needles, old cashmere sweaters and hat forms. Sewing machines in good working order or in need of some work are always desired. Please look out for old backpacks and similar bags for us, because we recycle the straps, buckles, and zippers!
Propane Patio Heater, Cafe Supplies
We are looking for a Propane Patio Heater to keep our participants warm at our outdoor winter events and any items to help build out and run our cafe operation such as a commercial coffee thermos, fixtures, etc.
Office Supplies
We can always use printer paper, envelopes, staple guns, lamps.
Items for Site Renovation
Right now security of our premises is an issue. Window bars (sadly) would be a great donation to receive.We could also use a few windows.
