Got Something to Give? We Might Need It.
Tinker Kids USA may be able to put your donated materials to work. Used tools, outdated electronics, and household items that would otherwise be discarded can become the centerpiece of a child's next discovery. Here's what we may be able to accept:
Hand Tools
Used hand tools in reasonable condition -- hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, and similar items.
Electronics & Appliances
Broken or outdated electronics, small household appliances, and office equipment suitable for supervised exploration and disassembly.
Shop & STEM Supplies
Safety equipment, building materials, shop supplies, STEM kits, gift cards, and similar workshop-ready items.
Important: Please Do Not Drop Off Items Without Approval
All material donations must be reviewed and approved before being dropped off. We appreciate your generosity -- please contact us first so we can confirm whether your item is a good fit and coordinate a drop-off time. Do not leave items unattended.
Thank you for your generosity! We've received your donation request and will be in touch to let you know if it's a good fit and coordinate next steps.
