Craftsman gives to The Makers Hub

The Makers Hub, a local non-profit that provides affordable resources to the Compton area located just south of Los Angeles, has received a donation of tools and storage systems from Craftsman in support of the grand opening of the Compton Tool Library this summer.

“We are incredibly grateful to Craftsman for their generous donation. At The Makers Hub, we’re committed to listening to the community and letting their voices guide our work,” said Adrianne Ferree, founder of The Makers Hub.

The Compton Tool Library will allow community members to affordably borrow tools and equipment for a variety of projects including entrepreneurial efforts, gardening, home repairs, learning trades and DIY projects, said the company.

“At Craftsman, we believe in the power of community and are proud to support The Makers Hub and the opening of the Compton Tool Library,” said Tabata Gomez, chief marketing officer of tools and outdoor at parent Stanley Black & Decker.

“We hope our donation will empower local residents to pursue their passions, learn new skills, and create something they’re proud of,” said Gomez.

This initiative is part of The Makers Hub’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable living practices through a circular economy and reduce waste by encouraging resource sharing.

“We can't wait to open the Compton Tool Library and with this donation, we're going to be able to offer even more to the community,” said Feree.
