Our Vision: We work to remove barriers from those looking to gain new employment. With a focus on manufacturing, carpentry and construction, we offer training in a safe environment. Partnering with other businesses in the Hartford area allows students and employees of Fresh Start to explore new careers outside of our four walls. We live our vision and continue to move forward with a dynamic curriculum and expanding donor support.
Our History: We began our social enterprise in the back yard of Grace Lutheran Church in Hartford in 2015, building benches out of discarded wooden pallets found nearby. This seating was needed, as guests at the church’s weekly open dinner were being arrested for loitering because there was no place to sit and chat outside. A church member who was a retired carpenter supervised the building process and a small work force grew rapidly into a nonprofit, as a number local organizations and individuals asked us to build them various products.

Be a part of a local Hartford Team of dedicated craftsman helping each other develop skill At Fresh Start we pride ourselves on offering a supportive and family environment.Company DescriptionHere is our mission statement: Fresh Start employs and trains individuals seeking to improve their lives with a future in building high-quality custom products and, in partnership with community organizations, provides education and training through the Richard P.
