Tables For Heroes charitable initiative supports veterans and first responders, handcrafted wooden tables delivered to Boys and Girls Club

ALBANY, Ga. – With a passion for woodwork and a heart for helping others, Sheron Kendrick’s creations are bringing comfort and joy to the community.

Kendrick and his team show kindness by delivering handcrafted wooden tables to the Albany Boys and Girls Club. The initiative, called Rebuild, Restore, Rebirth: Tables For Heroes, honors veterans and first responders through charitable contribution to the community.

“We got to start building these tables as a means of bringing community awareness about veterans not getting the recognition that they deserve. Today, we just delivered three tables, one to the Boys and Girls Club here in Albany, Georgia. The other one was to the ARC of Southwest Georgia on the Liberty Expressway. And the next was going to the Liberty House. We got to go and get that one and deliver that one today,” said Sheron Kendrick, owner, Restore, Rebirth, Rebuild.

This initiative recognizes the essential needs of veterans and first responders, using the proceeds from the handcrafted wooden tables to support these heroes, addressing critical needs within the community.

“People that have a disability, and certain age groups of that sort of status need a handicapped ramps and were unable to afford to do so. So, I came up with this idea of building these picnic tables, getting large businesses and organizations or individuals to sponsor a table, giving it to veterans or first responders or people of their chosen organization, of their choice, and then taking those proceeds that generated from there and going out and building handicap ramps for the elderly and the disabled for free. So far, we built just over 200 plus of these table, and we’ve managed to build right under 70 plus handicapped ramps here in southwest Georgia for people, for free,” said Kendrick.

Kendrick stresses the importance of raising awareness to this initiative, empowering veterans, first responders, and individuals with disabilities.

“With us doing this, it gives them back their mobility, gives them back some of their freedom. We take it for granted that being able to walk out the door, get in our vehicles and go to the store, to the doctor and so forth, where some people can’t do that. And, it’s very, very important that we come together as a community, recognizing those veterans, recognizing those first responders. As well as recognizing those individuals who are the least among us who need this type of service,” said Kendrick.
