SUPPORT OUR TOOL DRIVE

The Rockville Makerspace needs your unwanted tools to teach children, teens, and adults in our community important life skills and inspire them to become Makers. All donations must be in good working condition. We are happy to provide a letter confirming the items you donated for tax deduction purposes.

Donations can be dropped off at the Rockville Makerspace on Saturdays, 12:00 - 4:00 PM or Tuesdays, 6:00-8:00 PM or you can contact us.
