This year Would Works is excited to have booths at the upcoming LA-made holiday gift events:
12/5/18: Engage LA's The Gift of Giving Expo
The Getty House
12-2pm, invitation only
Hosted by Mayor Garcetti, Engage LA's holiday gift expo features local vendors that work on some of L.A.’s most pressing issues — from homelessness to domestic violence and re-entry. Attendees left with gifts for their loved ones, and the satisfaction of knowing that their purchases will help an Angeleno in need. 12/5/2018, 12-2pm, invitation only.
12/9/18: Community on Cosmo at the Hollywood Farmers Market
Cosmo Street at Hollywood Blvd.
8am-1pm, free and open to the public
Each Sunday has a unique theme and this one is Made in L.A. Gift Giving. Come show your support for Would Works and other LA makers by buying one of a kind Made in LA gifts this holiday season.
Community on Cosmo is a thoughtful space for makers, retailers, practitioners, community and non-profit organizations, chefs and home cooks alike to engage and build community at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market.

Great News -- Here's To A New Chapter for Would Works!
We are delighted to announce that Would Works’ (WW) programs have found a new and supportive home within Rediscover Center, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that provides woodworking instruction and vocational training for youth as part of their mission to provide all Angelenos ages 5-25 with the tools, resources, and confidence to create physical objects using discarded and creatively reused materials.
With Heavy Hearts, We Must Announce The Closure of WW at the End of 2025
After 13 years, Would Works has made the difficult decision to sunset operations at the end of 2025. Over the past year and a half, we have worked to position Would Works for long-term success and to better serve our unhoused community in Los Angeles. Despite our best efforts, it has become clear that the current climate is not in our favor.
A New Chapter: Beginner Builders Youth Pilot Program
On August 23, 2025, Would Works officially kicked off our reimagined paid job training program in woodworking for youth experiencing homelessness, in partnership with My Friend's Place, and funding support from Snap Foundation, Cedar-Sinai Grantmaking, and the Arlene and Michael Rosenfeld Foundation.
