All Brands Sewing Center

All Brands Sewing Center has always been a family affair. Since 1965, Mom and Dad worked hard to provide the community with top-of-the-line sewing machines and vacuum cleaners, and the service expertise to back them up. When they retired, the sisters picked up right where they left off and with Gayla leading the way, our love of sewing grew into a sewing store full of creativity that is still blooming today.

Church Hill Association

Church Hill is one of Richmond’s oldest and most storied neighborhoods. It’s said that in 1737, the view from Libby Hill Park reminded William Byrd II of his home on the Thames, Richmond Hillβ€”giving our capital city its name. Today, that same view continues to inspire, reflecting the rich history and vibrant culture that make Church Hill truly unique.

From charming historic homes and iconic landmarks to a world-class food scene, Church Hill offers an experience like no other. We’re just moments away from downtown Richmond, GRTC Pulse Bus Rapid Transit, and the scenic Capital Trailβ€”whether you prefer to walk, bike, drive, or hop on public transit.

Dominion Riverrock

We live and work by Richmond’s picturesque riverfront. With a network of trails and amazing views just steps away from a vibrant downtown, we knew we had to let everyone in on the secret that was Richmond, VA. And what better way to celebrate than with the nation’s premier outdoor sports and music festival?!

Sports Backers and Venture Richmond both work to make RVA a vibrant place to live. Bringing our two nonprofit organizations together to create one of the nation’s most beloved outdoor festivals was a no-brainer! Venture Richmond provides the entertainment, and Sports Backers brings the athletes. It all adds up to a great showcase of Richmond’s riverfront and all it has to offer!

At the Peace Center, we dedicate our efforts to creating and protecting affirming spaces that embrace cultural humility and create ties of respect that connect people of every age, culture, race, class, region, religion, gender, and sexual identity in our work to build an inclusive community. 

The Peace Center advocates for nonviolence, which is an unflinching commitment to show love and kindness in response to conflict rather than abstaining from or avoiding conflict out of fear. We see nonviolence as a powerful tool to resist social inequalities, oppose oppression, and achieve sustainable peace for all people.
