Hammers & Ales is just around the corner, and there's still time to join us on Friday, September 12, from 1 PM to 5 PM! For a decade, Hammers & Ales has brought our community together to build, connect, and raise vital funds for our mission. This year, for our 10th celebration, we're especially excited to welcome both new and familiar faces.

This year's projects will benefit Henrico County Public Schools and RVA Parks, continuing our tradition of tangible impact. Over the past decade, our community has hand-built hundreds of outdoor features and furniture for incredible organizations like Dorey Park Farmers Market and Capital Region Land Conservancy. This event directly supports the core of our mission here at ToolBank - providing tools and event equipment for changemakers throughout Central Virginia.

What is Tools for Change?

Our Tools for Change program offers a unique solution to a common problem in the nonprofit sector: resource scarcity. Nonprofits often struggle to acquire the equipment they need. We tackle this by providing community-based organizations with access to a vast inventory of over 10,000 tools (nearly 300 different types) that they can borrow for extended periods instead of buying. This affordable tool lending program is designed to be both easily accessible for our members and sustainable for us.
