“I restore anywhere from five to 10 pieces a day … I think that sometimes if the people saw the way it looks when I’m finished with it, maybe they’d want it back.

I love it … it’s the best job I ever had.”

DAN KERSHAW, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

“Every single day we’re getting between 20 and 25 families, (they’re) coming into our place to build a home. Last year there was nearly 11,000 people that received the gift of furniture.

-Dan
