Volunteer and help SE Portland Tool Library Buy More Tools!

The Southeast Portland Tool Library(SEPTL) lends home and garden tools to residents of SE Portland for FREE!

SEPTL has an amazing opportunity to earn money through BES’ downspout disconnection program! We need volunteers willing to donate 3 hours of time to help disconnect downspouts in SE Portland. It’s easy work and you'll receive training. With each downspout that gets disconnected, we’ll earn $26! Not only that, but you get free pizza at the end of the shift! ALL the money will go towards buying tools from SEPTL's wish list.

We’re organizing groups of 3-4 on Tuesday evenings from 4-7pm and Thursday mornings from 9am-12pm. If you’re interested in helping out, contact Jonathan @ [email protected] and let him know which Tuesday afternoons or Thursday mornings work for you between June 10th and July 8th. He’ll then confirm when we have enough sign-ups. If those times don’t work for you but you’d like to help, let us know when you are available(or form your own group!), and we’ll set something up.

It’s fun, you learn a new skill, you’re helping our community, and you get pizza. What more could you ask for? Disconnecting downspouts is important work; it helps keep sewage from polluting our rivers.
