Hammers & Ales

Hammers & Ales
Every day in Baltimore, neighborhood leaders are transforming forgotten lots into thriving gardens, rebuilding playgrounds into safe havens, and turning neglected spaces into community gathering places. They've got the vision, the volunteers, and the drive—but sometimes they're missing the tools to make it happen.
That's where the Baltimore Community ToolBank steps in. We load up their trucks with clean, sharp, and ready-to-use tools that turn dreams into impact. In 2024 alone, we helped over 300 organizations save more than $3 million—dollars that went straight back into feeding families, housing neighbors, and strengthening communities.
Hammers & Ales celebrates the changemakers building Baltimore's future, one project at a time.
What to Expect:
-Beer tasting from Baltimore's favorite local breweries
-Interactive game stations where you'll meet the nonprofit leaders transforming our neighborhoods
-Community connections with fellow Baltimoreans who believe in our city's potential
-Stories of impact from the organizations using ToolBank tools to build a better Baltimore
This isn't just a fundraiser—it's a celebration of the collaborative spirit that makes Baltimore special. Come thirsty for good beer and hungry for good conversation about the work that matters.
