Join us and become a Woodworker with Heart
Learn new skills, build community and help kids in need in our town.
Woodworkers with Heart is a 100% volunteer based (non-profit ) organization that builds and delivers beds to children ages 3-17 who do not have a bed. We also build toys that go with the beds and to many kids at Akron Children’s Hospital and thoughout our community.
“What we do is simple:
Getting Kids off the floor and into warm safe beds
+Making kids smile one toy at a time.
“I will never forget the look on the kids face when we told them this was their very own bed... I don’t think they ever had a bed of their own”
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
Our beds and toys are carefully crafted to meet the growing needs each and every Child.
Our volunteers are dedicated, hard working and care about the children in our community.
