Giving our city more places to sit.
Request a bench or let us know that yours needs maintenance with an email: rvabenches@proton.me
We are a decentralized collaboration of neighbors who want more benches in Richmond - so we are building, installing, and maintaining benches in Richmond.
Email us to request a bench placement, report a bench in need of repair, or if you want
to get involved — we welcome donations of time, tools, materials, or funds.
If you just want to do it yourself, we have guides for the bench that we build.
With gratitude, we have taken inspiration from the Chattanooga Urbanist Society, The San Francisco Bay Area Bench Collective, and anybody else building DIY infrastructure for their community.
