The Sunrise Wood Shop isn’t just a place to build things, it’s a place where people show up for each other.
Each year, the group hosts three fundraisers: a Hawaiian shaved ice social, an ice cream social, and a large dinner event. Across these events, they feature over 120 handcrafted items made right in the shop, everything from cutting boards and lamps to jewelry boxes and custom pieces.
At their largest dinner fundraiser, guests are welcomed with two free door prizes and a raffle ticket, and the room fills with neighbors supporting neighbors.
Altogether, these events bring in around $9,000 each year, which goes right back into the wood shop, helping fund materials, tools, and future projects.
But what stands out most isn’t the number, it’s the way people show up.
At one fundraiser, a woman shared that she wanted to support but didn’t have the money. Greg simply told her, “Don’t think twice, go get yourself an icy drink.”
That moment says everything about this group.
It’s not just about what they make. It’s about how they take care of people.
