About this Opportunity

Help Make ToolBank's 10th Annual Hammners & Ales Our Best Yet!

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. 

Hammers & Ales Features MUSIC, BEER  &  FOOD TRUCKS, GAMES & EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Volunteer Duties & Responsibilities:

Volunteers will help us set up/break down work stations and make the event space inviting, safe, and super fun for all of our visitors. Adult volunteers may be asked to assist with guiding visitors to parking lots.
