    Our History: We began our social enterprise in the back yard of Grace Lutheran Church in Hartford in 2015, building benches out of discarded wooden pallets found nearby. This seating was needed, as guests at the church's weekly open dinner were being arrested for loitering because there was no place to sit and chat outside. A church member who was a retired carpenter supervised the building process and a small work force grew rapidly into a nonprofit, as a number local organizations and individuals asked us to build them various products.
