John Stene: Stene Woodwork
“Mostly, it grew up in a cabinet shop.
I wasn’t really planning to be a cabinet maker, but been working in cabinet shops for 17 years. And just moved back down and to the home place where I grew up. And my dad passed away, and then the shop was sitting here empty. So, I decided to take up the shop and start the business.”
– John Stene

Discover the Benefits of Getting Involved in Your Local Community
Why is it important to get involved in your community? Not only does it help build a sense of connection and belonging, but it also allows you to positively impact the people and organizations around you. Whether it’s volunteering at a local charity, attending community events, or joining a neighborhood association, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
One great way to start is by reaching out to your local government or community center to see what opportunities are available. Many cities and towns have volunteer programs that allow you to help with everything from park maintenance to community clean-up efforts.
“These folks, they are about relationships, and they do things in the community. So, getting involved on a local community level would be super-duper powerful.”
