In light of current measures being implemented across the world to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Houston ToolBank is canceling our annual fundraiser Hammers & Ales. Like so many organizations and companies, we want to put the wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, and supporters first. For those who have purchased tickets, you will be fully refunded. We will be connecting with sponsors directly to offer alternative options for recognition and visibility.
At the same time, the ToolBank is facing a challenge that is occurring across the country: a sharp drop in usage. This drop means no Tool Handling fees during our busiest season. We rely on both the fees and funds raised to keep our tool lending program running and to pay our staff. If you would like to make a donation to the ToolBank, you can "purchase a ticket" and donate the funds to us.
Our Upcoming Online Auction
We will still have a silent auction for you to support the ToolBank! Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for more info on the auction, which will be going live in the next few days.

At the moment, we are planning a fundraiser for the fall, and will share information about that closer to the event. Also, keep an eye out for an online version of our silent auction (with all sorts of cool items!) to raise funds for the ToolBank.
In the meantime, we appreciate your understanding. We wish good health to you and your family.
