Our suppliers diligently remove siding, timbers, and other usable materials. They then deliver them to our manufacturing facility in Lexington, KY (the horse capital of the world) to be redeemed and repurposed. Beyond the material we work with, we partner with our network of organizations and ministries to connect with men and women coming out of difficult backgrounds and circumstances who need a second chance. Essentially, we make second chance wood by second chance people.
