Building Change 2020
Together we’re Building Change and giving back to RVA!
The year 2020 has required us all to adapt and pivot to the challenges we’re facing as a community. One of the easiest ways to stay socially connected while keeping safe physical distance is by transforming common outdoor spaces into safe community places with seating, plants and natural habitats.

Supporting the Community with Tools for Change
The Richmond Community ToolBank is a nonprofit tool lending program that provides fellow not-for-profit organizations with year-round access to an inventory of tools. These tools are used to support volunteer and facility projects, as well as grounds maintenance in the Richmond area. We provide tools to enhance the charitable sector’s capacity to serve, while facilitating hands-on volunteerism.
Our 10,000 square-foot warehouse houses an inventory of nearly 12,000 individual tools, capable of equipping more than 1,000 volunteers at any given moment. This vast and wide-ranging inventory allows us to support a broad range of community projects and local initiatives.
