Getting down with the Garcettis at the Getty House Holiday Fair
We were thrilled to be included in Engage LA: The Gift of Giving-- a holiday fair hosted by Mayor Garcetti and the Getty House Board of Directors.
Engage LA featured products made by various LA based social enterprises that give opportunities to Angelenos touched by homelessness, domestic violence, and other challenges.
Our team members and artisans had great success selling our hand crafted goods along-side many other inspiring organizations whose work we love, such as; MADE by DWC, Skid Row Coffee, LA LGBT Center, Homeboy Industries, The People Concern, Chrysalis and many more.
Thank you to the Getty House for including us in this fantastic pop up holiday fair and to all the wonderful attendees who supported our program.

Nick Offerman Partners with Would Works to Empower At-Risk Angelenos Through Woodworking
Beyond woodworking, Nick Offerman highlights the “incredibly benevolent and warm humanism” at the heart of Would Works. "We're giving people … mental health, counseling, job counseling, life coaching. It's a place to say, 'Come on in, I see you, I care about you, I recognize the trouble you might be having. Here's a sandwich, here's a bowl of soup. Now, this is a hand plane,'" Offerman said.
