Event Description and Purpose:
Hammers & Ales is Richmond's only Party with a Purpose and we need YOUR help to host another amazing event! This event celebrates Richmond's parks, public places, and the people that make them thrive. Volunteers help ToolBank staff provide a great experience to hundreds of folks who come out to build outdoor furniture that will be installed at local parks and schools. We provide the tools, materials, instructions, and support; community members sponsor a project and build it on-site. After the event, we distribute the built items to their new homes. Visitors enjoy music, beverages, and food from local vendors.
