Buffalo, NY – The Tool Library’s service events return to put their tools and volunteers to work with a calendar of community service events every Saturday in October and on November 5. Each of the six service events provide an opportunity to beautify, strengthen, and contribute to the WNY community through direct, hands-on action.
This fall’s schedule includes park and trail cleanups, planting in community gardens, and gardening at William Gaiter Parkway, and cleanup in Dewey Park. In addition to focusing on neighborhood improvement activities, The Tool Library’s service events provide an opportunity for volunteers to learn new skills, such as pruning, gardening, and tree planting.

For its first service day of the season, October 1, The Tool Library will be partnering with the Resource Council of WNY on their Perkins Park Cleanup. The Tool Library will also be presenting the organization with their first ever Community Partner of the Year Award for all of the organization’s support of Buffalo’s East Side.
“Giving passionate people the tools they need to turn an idea for change into action within their communities is essential to The Tool Library,” said Darren Cotton, Board President of The Tool Library. “That’s what these service days are about. What providing affordable access to tools is about. By lending and using these tools, we are enabling all to contribute to the beautification, repair, collective knowledge, and sustainability of WNY.”
Fall 2022 Service Days are made possible with the support of National Grid and the offices of Hon. Crystal Peoples-Stokes, Majority Leader, Hon. Lisa Chimera, 3rd District Legislator, and The Tool Library’s sustaining donors.
