Woodworker, author, actor, humorist and all-around nice guy (with a most excellent giggle) Nick Offerman and Offerman Woodshop are teaming with Would Works through October 30 for a $20,000 fundraising campaign.
Would Works is a Los Angeles non-profit that teaches people who are homeless or who live in the city’s Skid Row neighborhood create and sell handcrafted wood items as they work toward a specific financial goal – simple goals many of us would likely take for granted: a new pair of eyeglasses, a bus ticket home, funds toward paying a first month’s rent to get off the streets.
With $20,000, Would Works will be able to offer two years of weekly workshops – 4,000 hours of woodworking training and work for people living in poverty. Handcrafted items include a bottle opener, cocktail board, cutting board and charcuterie board.
Offerman will match dollar for dollar every donation until the $20,000 is met between now and October 30. Find out more at wouldworks.com.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.
Thanks for publicizing this. If 1000 of your readers each gave just $10, that would raise $10,000!
