Building Change for Our Community! 🙌

We recently collaborated with The Life Church RVA for a day of service at our facility, building outdoor furniture for community organizations in need. Our Building Change program provides community groups with a turnkey, unique one-of-a-kind giveback experience that combine team building with hands-on tool training.

The result is a donation to our community, something meaningful for the Richmond region, and a deeper sense of connection within your own team. 💙

We are privileged to host amazing teams at our warehouse to roll up their sleeves and create lasting change in our community! Thank you, The Life Church RVA for building change with us.

If you or your team is interested in a Building Change Volunteer event, submit an interest form today: https://www.richmondtoolbank.org/buildingchange?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=Static&utm_term=6%2F12%2F2026&utm_content=TheLifeChurchRVA

We 💙 our community organizations!

Every organization we serve is powered by passionate staff and volunteers creating lasting change in our community. They are truly Richmond’s true Neighborhood Architects. 🏛️

The Richmond ToolBank acts as a force-multiplier for these groups. By providing hundreds of thousands of tools year-round for just 6% of retail value, we help local nonprofits save money so they can reinvest those critical dollars directly back into their missions. ♻️ Whether you are an organization of one or a major local chapter, we are here to serve you.

To celebrate them, we are launching the Better Block Award! 🎉

How to nominate your favorite group:
For every donation of $10 or more made to our Blueprint for Better Neighborhoods Campaign, you can nominate a local community organization or volunteer group for the award.
