Meet Dane.

When Dane and his wife moved to Birmingham, he thought he was just signing up for a woodworking apprenticeship. But what he found at Manufacture Good was so much more.

In his own words, Dane came in hoping to build tables—but ended up rebuilding his heart. Through the community of men around him, Dane began to let go of years of anger and resentment. He found purpose, healing, and a deeper connection with his faith. He discovered that even when he didn’t feel like he measured up, he mattered deeply—to God and to the people around him.

Your donation helps make stories like Dane’s possible. It’s not just about the workbench—it’s about the work being done in the hearts of men.
