Bridging The Gap Tool Lending Shed provides the Greater Kansas City community access to tools, empowering our neighbors to build and maintain a sustainable, thriving community.
Groups can save expenses while completing many types of community-coordinated projects, such as garden installation, neighborhood improvement, maintenance, and beautification. We lend out free of charge an ever-growing inventory of tools. View our full inventory to decide what you need for your next project.
Tools are limited and available on a first come, first served basis.
