The Tool Shed

The Tool Shed Every purchase helps fund programs that change lives across Texas. We collect donated tools, supplies, and DIY materials of all kinds.

The Tool Shed sells donated tools, hardware, & craft items to support Friends for Life, a nonprofit that helps seniors & people with disabilities live independently. The Tool Shed is a unique thrift store in Waco, Texas, dedicated to giving tools, craft items, and hardware a second life for a good cause. Operated by Friends for Life, a nonprofit serving seniors and people with disabilities across

45 Texas counties, The Tool Shed raises vital funds to support programs that help individuals live independently with dignity and purpose. With the help of our amazing volunteers, items are cleaned, repaired, and sold at affordable prices to the public. Whether you’re a seasoned handyman, a creative crafter, or just love a good deal, you’ll find treasures here, and your purchase directly supports our mission. Every wrench, saw, or paintbrush you donate or buy helps fund essential services like guardianship, independent living support, adult day care, and more. Together, we’re building stronger communities—one tool at a time.

🛠️ The Tool Shed Needs Your Donations! 🛠️

We’ve been blessed with amazing support lately — which means we’re selling through inventory FAST! Our shelves (big items and small hardware) are getting pretty bare, and we need your help to restock.

When you donate to The Tool Shed, you’re not just clearing space — you’re supporting Friends for Life’s programs for seniors and individuals with disabilities right here in our community. Every tool, every box of screws, every hobby item sold helps fund services that empower independence and improve quality of life.

We gladly accept:
🔧 Tools (even if they don’t work!)
🔩 Hardware – screws, nails, drawer pulls, hinges, etc.
🎨 Craft materials
🏀 Sports or hobby equipment

And here’s the best part — we can pick up your donations!
If you have items sitting in a garage, shed, or workshop, message us and we’ll schedule a pickup. Easy. Simple. Helpful.

(We’re not able to accept TVs, books, furniture, household items, or clothing.)
