Spring has officially sprung (ignoring these surprise chilly days!), and we're bursting with excitement at what our incredible community accomplished together in Q1! While winter might try to slow things down, this year, our member agencies proved unstoppable.

Ready for some inspiring highlights?

‌

• Greener pastures, brighter smiles: Elk Hill Farms and Hope Cares RVA joined forces to beautify the farm with landscaping projects, getting those gardens prepped for stunning spring blooms!
• Fighting hunger, building hope: Students at St. Christopher's School & St. Catherine's School hosted Richmond's Rise Against Hunger, packing a whopping 4,000 meals for our neighbors in need.

That's just a taste of what we achieved together! Here's a quick stat snapshot of what our member agencies and their network of volunteers accomplished this quarter.

✅ 90 Projects Completed

💪🏽 2,110 Volunteers Equipped

⭐ 23 NEW Member Agencies Welcome!

 The impact YOU make truly matters! Feeling inspired? Here's how you can join the movement this spring:

• Become a Volunteer! Every Wednesday from 9 AM - 12 PM, we offer exciting opportunities to make a real difference in your community.
• Become a Monthly Donor! Your Donation Gets Amplified! Every dollar you give goes further thanks to our unique 3% tool lending fees. That means a $10 monthly donation packs a punch of $330!

Let's make this spring EPIC! Signing off to enjoy a (chilly, but beautiful!) spring walk along the river with my pup. In the meantime, do you have a story to share about your volunteer experience? We'd love to hear it! Send me an email - jamie@richmondtoolbank.

See you soon,
