Tools for Grandparents Treasure Chest in Bega Valley

The organisations are converting a shipping container into a hub for bringing together Bega Valley residents as they continue to rebuild and recover from the devastating Black Summer bushfires.

Dubbed the "Grandparents Treasure Chest," the facility needs a range of tools including garden tools, fencing tools, mechanical tools, manual building tools and electrical tools. 

Most tools will be given directly to people impacted by the fires. Some tools (e.g. a concrete mixer) will become part of a tool library open to locals.

What's needed

There are heaps of items needed. This includes:

• Belt sander;
• Orbital sander;
