We’re excited to introduce you all to the newest crew member at the Richmond Community ToolBank. We’re beyond thrilled to bring Morgan on full-time and we’re extra thankful for the $100,000 grant we received in October 2024 because it not only allowed for us to bring her on full time but also increase the number of workshops we can offer in 2025.

Keep reading below to learn more about Morgan, our ToolBOX Program Coordinator.

She leads home maintenance workshops and empowers individuals with the skills and knowledge to care for their homes. Her passion for affordable housing is evident in her dedication to equipping people with the tools for sustainable homeownership.

Morgan’s background includes extensive experience in both nonprofit home repair and new construction, most recently with Richmond Habitat for Humanity. She has instructed countless volunteers in all phases of home building. Through ToolBOX, Morgan translates this expertise into practical, accessible training for the community.

When she's not wielding power tools, Morgan loves hiking along the James, getting her hands dirty in her neighborhood's community garden, and laughing at her cats' silly shenanigans.

When I am not at ToolBank you can find me...

• exploring trails on the James
• getting her hands dirty in her neighborhood's community garden
• laughing at her cats' silly shenanigans.
