Houston, TX – September 5, 2017 – The Houston Community ToolBank stands ready to partner with other nonprofits and community organizations to rebuild in areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. With over 14,000 tools available, including generators, chain saws, shovels, pressure washers and wheelbarrows, the ToolBank is a one-stop spot for organizations pitching in with recovery efforts. To us “Houston Strong” is not a slogan, it’s a mission.

This effort is well underway as exemplified by our partnership with Team Rubicon, a disaster response organization made of veterans and other volunteers helping rebuild. Team Rubicon is using our disaster services trailer, filled with essential mucking out tools, to bring help where it is most needed. This effort is emblematic of what is possible when organizations partner to aid in disaster recovery.
