Cache Makers has a 464 square foot wood shop. It is small, but we have some big plans to complete the shop. We are currently looking for working condition items listed below, or cash donations specifically to help us purchase these items. This space will be used by our volunteers and youth. To access this space a training will be required for adults and youth must be attending a wood shop class (coming soon with your support!). 

The wood shop is part of our community makerspace in Cache Makers, that was developed under Utah State University 4H/Extension which is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible and will receive a receipt designating your charitable contribution.

If you are interested in donating a piece of equipment or materials please contact us at info@cachemakers.org or  (435) 752-6263.

To support our wood shop with a monetary donation, please use our donation page and designate "wood shop", or a specific item you would like your donation to go towards in the comments.

Thank you from the Cache Makers Community!​
