From the press release:

CU Woodshop – Habitat for Humanity

Tool Donation, Sale and Swap

Saturday, August 1 from 9 am – 3 pm

CU Woodshop is partnering with Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore to host a woodworking tool donation, sale and swap. The event is Saturday, August 1 from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. at CU Woodshop Supply located on 1401 Parkland Court in Champaign. Rain date is Saturday, August 8 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Individuals or businesses looking to get rid of used tools may donate them to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore booth at the CU Woodshop Tool Sale and Swap as a tax-deductible donation. All sales from tools donated to the Habitat Restore will go directly to building homes in Champaign County.

Those who prefer to sell or swap tools can set up a 10’x10’ booth at the event by purchasing a $50 gift certificate to the CU Woodshop. Many booths will be selling and swapping power tools, machinery (woodworking, metal working or mechanic tools), hand tools, accessories, and all types of hardware.

The Tool Sale and Swap provides an opportunity to help Habitat families in the area by donating tools to Restore, give new woodworkers access to affordable used tools and help existing woodworkers to trade up for better tools. 

The event is free to the public. For further details and FAQs, please visit www.cuwoodshop.com/pages/tool-sale-swap or call (217) 355-1244.
