Construct a simple wood frame awning
Brief Organizational Description: Our creative, holistic approach to those affected by unemployment, underemployment who are formerly incarcerated or returning from rehabilitation puts into practice the ultimate goal of helping people become independent. We encourage all our participants to improve their own lives as well as being part of making this entire community grow and prosper.
