Kids Making It
Downtown
Overview
🛍️ A few things you can shop for in the gift shop: cutting boards, lamps, shelves, side tables, bird houses, home decor, outdoor furniture, pens, and more
⚡️ They LOVE custom orders… these are perfect for personable one-of-a-kind gifts, weddings, name tags, work awards. (Plus I heard they have some of the best prices in town 👀💸)
📆 Kid’s Making It started 30 years ago with a lawyer, a kid in the foster care system, and a duck blind.
Jimmy Pierce, the founder, started teaching woodworking to his neighbor and quickly saw the therapeutic effects. Soon, they got commissioned to make a duck blind AND got paid for it. They loved it, the word spread and lots of kids started learning and expanding their skill sets.
⏩⏩⏩ Today, there are over 70 kids enrolled & countless stories of them feeling empowered, and confident after high school, and entering successful careers.
