There are two ways of giving

2. You can send a monetary donation ($30 suggested value) to Yve Irish (info to follow) and the shopping will be done for you.

Tool Thrift Shop makes One Million Dollar$

The Tool Thrift Shop, started in November 2020, is a non-profit volunteer run business that provides reuse of donated tools and hardware, while raising funds to support Senior Options for Independence (SOFI). SOFI is a Perinton-based program to keep Seniors living independently.

Their success is based on volunteer(s) and community support, from donations to purchasing items for use, as well as the support from the local business community.

The Tool Thrift Shop sales of one (1) million dollars over ten years has allowed for $700,000 in support of this valuable and unique community-based service that helps to make Perinton a special place to live.

A celebration to honor this success was held on October 6, 2021, allowing volunteers, local officials and those important to the Shop's success, to gather and celebrate. A proclamation was received from the Town of Perinton and honored Tom Poelma, President/CEO of Fairport Baptist Homes for his support.
