Tool Shower for the YMCA

Oskaloosa YMCA

Jerry Allen will soon be retiring from the Mahaska County YMCA in May, and with his retirement, the tools necessary to help keep the Y maintained will be retiring with Jerry, as those are his personal tools.

The following is a statement from the Y:
“We are hosting a “TOOL SHOWER” for the YMCA and ask that you review the list of needed tools. Perhaps you have some decent unused items or can find new to replenish these necessary items. Please contact Bill Ludwick at ludwick2@mahaska.org or 641-660-3442 for clarification on items or a heads up on what you may have.”

The Y said that if tool shopping isn’t your thing, you can bring in cash donations with the designation for the tools. The following is a list of needed items.
