And that’s a wrap! 🎉🔨✨

Hammers & Ales 2026 made history for Richmond Community ToolBank. Nearly 250 participants across 85 build teams came together and raised close to $50,000 for our mission and programs. It was our largest event to date and a new standard for community investment in Richmond.

Corporate and community teams worked side by side to build picnic tables, park benches, and garden troughs for Richmond Public Schools . These pieces will give students safe, vibrant, and welcoming outdoor spaces for years to come.

As we deliver this furniture to schools across the city, we want to thank every build team, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who made it possible. Every team that showed up, every bench built, and every dollar raised made a difference.

A special thank you to our leading sponsors of Hammers & Ales 2026 🏆 :
The Home Depot, Michael and Son Services, and Bon Secours!

We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
