N.I.C. Tool shed loans tools for free

STRUTHERS — You have to go inside the ReStore to find it — an unassuming little cubicle toward the back of the building where the Neighborhood Improvement Corps is launching a big mission.

They have what you need, if you’re a low- to moderate-income Youngstown resident, to fix up your place. If enough people take advantage of the N.I.C. Tool Shed, says N.I.C. President Maureen O’Neil Farris, the city’s neighborhoods can get a much-needed face-lift.

Do you need to paint? They’ve got the ladders and brushes, which can be borrowed without charge. They’ve even got the paint right now, donated by Sherwin Williams, to supply about 4 to 6 homeowners.
