Strong Towns Buffalo is hosting a community build day to make simple, sturdy benches that we'll place around the city where they're needed most. This is hands-on work: cutting, sanding, drilling. You don't need experience and you don't need to bring anything! We'll teach you what you need to know in about ten minutes.
What to expect:
Build stations for every skill level
All tools and materials provided
Snacks and drinks on us
Rolling drop-in format: come when you can, leave when you need to
What to wear: Closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting sawdust on.
Who this is for: Anyone. Bring a friend, bring your kid, bring a neighbor who's been complaining about the same empty corner for years.
Why benches?
Because the smallest interventions often matter most. A bench is a quiet promise that a place is for people. Strong cities get built from a thousand small detail that just require neighbors who show up.
