🧰 JOBOX up for grabs in Beacon! 🌱

Hi neighbors! We have a JOBOX storage chest at one of our school gardens in Beacon that’s ready for a new home. It’s sturdy, lockable, and perfect for tools, job sites, or garage storage.

We’re asking for a donation in exchange, and 100% of it goes straight to our organization to support our school garden programs. You would just need to be able to pick it up from the school.

Interested? Send us a message or comment below and we’ll set up a time. Please share with anyone who might need one! 💚
