Our Location

In May of 2004, Wood-to-Wonderful purchased a deteriorating building at 1044 North 8th Street, Reading, PA. Since then, Wood-to-Wonderful has made extensive renovations to the site. This newly renovated building is the proud home of Wood-to-Wonderful and its many grass roots community outreach programs. It is also a credit to the neighborhood.
