Nashville, TN | Woodshop Project
Place: Nashville, TN
Trade: Woodshop Project
Why: Empowering gifts, teaching skills and providing tools to use business as mission. There was a need to repurpose people from their battle against addiction and homelessness, so we installed a woodshop to help teach trades, empower people to use their gifts and restore people’s identity. This woodshop is an incredible group of people who exist to leave a lasting legacy in everything they do.
