Wood-to-Wonderful was founded by Louise and Doug Brown in 1987 in the Washington, DC, suburbs and relocated to Reading, PA, in 1997. Wood-to-Wonderful’s original grass roots mission was to make wooden toys for less fortunate children. To this end, between 7,000 and 10,000 wooden toys are made and distributed yearly to needy children.
Since moving to Reading, Wood-to-Wonderful’s mission has evolved into helping to improve the quality of life for deserving children and now, in addition to wooden toymaking, includes diverse community outreach programs such as “Reading is Toyrific,” game board and yoyo-making with adults with disabilities, CAN IT, Re-Bike-Cycle, school partnerships, and neighborhood support. Wood-to-Wonderful is truly a grass roots organization with tangible results.
