Community Tool Lending Shed

September 13, 2019 by grapeLKL


 The Grapevine Community Tool Lending Shed was built in 2017, thanks to the generosity and dedication of local volunteers.  In June 2018, the Shed was introduced to the community and dedicated to the memory of two women, Kirstie and Suzanne, who were daughters of a local family.  The Community Tool Lending Shed works similar to a traditional library: Sign out and borrow, and bring it back. You must schedule a time to pick up tools; quick “how to” tutorials  can be provided at that time. The Community Tool Lending shed welcomes donations of gently used tools and equipment. 

An inventory of available tools and equipment can be found here.

Requests to borrow or donation offers should be directed to toolshed@grapevinenh.org.

People’s Service Exchange

September 13, 2019 by grapeLKL


In 2018, The People’s Service Exchange (PSE) underwent a transition.  We are always seeking opportunities to meet the changing needs of our community while being mindful of our own capacity and resources. Our goal is to embed the spirit and intent of the PSE into other volunteer led efforts, such as our Community Tool Lending Shed, where volunteers can lend their time toward light home repairs in our community.  For more information about the PSE, please contact Melissa Gallagher, Executive Director, at melissag@grapevinenh.org.
